When I look at pictures like this, I am surprised at seeing that I am
still
overweight. After 18 months I feel I should be slim already.
Intellectually, I understand where I am on the journey, but that does not
match my internal self-image.

Wow! Well, I'll tell ya - you may still be overweight but no one would ever
think it if they saw you walking down the street. It must be a drastic
change - how about a Before/After pic. It would surely inspire some newbies.
And myself too- in the time I've been taking to lose 50 lbs you have halved
your body weight!!

Good job!!

I take it you are not yet at your target weight, but your picture suggests
someone who is in a normal weight range.

I agree. Cubit, you look to me like someone in within the "normal" weight
range. One thing, when you lose a lot of weight it takes longer for the skin
to catch up, so people often have little rolls of skin and some loose skin
that can make them feel less than totally slim. Also, are you exercising
much? I know that exercise, especially resistance exercise, makes a big
difference even when your weight is near-optimal according to the charts.

And yet you think exercise has no part to play in this situation?

You're lucky, Cubit---most once-fat people still see themselves as "fat
folks" even after they drop the weight.

I think that you already 'see" yourself as trim and lean is a very
positive thing. rom your pirture, I'd call you a "big man"---NOT a 'fat"
one.
