I have lost 80 lbs and i am in an 8 but i just don't see that much difference. When i try on clothes or look in the mirror all i see is at least 50 more lbs. I am obsessed with the gym and i am trying my best to be 158 by friday so i can go visit my best friend. One of my friends got extrememly mad at me because i didn't want to go in to a store called 5,7,9. She actually said i needed to see someone because i had issues. I am just not ready to go in to a store like that. In my head what if the sizes run small and all it does is make me feel worse then i did before i walked into the store. I work for a plastic surgeon and he told me he thought i had a little bit of body dis morphia. I don't know but i am reading up on it right now.

I don't have anybody around that seems to help - it's like everyone that knows me just says LOOK AT YOU, CAN'T YOU SEE IT?? There just are not that many people that understand what I've been through. When I go to support group, a lot of the people are pre-op and they seem to think that I'm NUTS for having any size issues. (my husband and best friend say the same thing) I need a friend that understands this type of thing. I want to be able to just say what I feel without all these people feeling so darn defensive - they say things like "you are skinny now, do you just want to hear that over and over?" And "just be happy that you don't have any problems with your weight now" ARGHHHHH!! I think this is a problem.
