YES, I do have a hard time. Today, the coworker that took my 'before' pic and my '10 week out' pic finally was able to get them uploaded and sent to me.. of course, lots of people were around when we were trying to do this and so people were looking at them and asking "So, what WAS your weight when you started" and "What is your weight now" and the worst.. "So, you planning on losing 200 lbs?" (No, I think 200 is too much to lose for my body & frame)
God, I started to cry.. just seeing that before pic, I started to cry and the inquisition only made it worse. I'm absolutely horrified that I allowed myself to 'live' like that.. my only explanation is that I was like the bulimic that sees fat when she looks in the mirror only in reverse. I didn't see that fat chick at all.
The fat around my neck, belly, arms and shoulders is just gross, how could I do that to myself? ack, getting teary again
Anyway, yes, I'm VERY uncomfortable with people asking those questions and I try to say thinks like "A lot" when asked how much I have to lose and "Some" or "Not enough" when asked how much I've already lost.
