[quote=Anonymous]Just musing to myself about this but would like to chat with others who have went through this or who are going through it.

I have been overweight since about age 10. I have lost 60 pounds in the last year but still need to lose another 40-60.

This is the least I have weighed since college and it has been a very very slow process. I made major lifestyle changes but still have only lost 20 pounds in the past five months. I know that one pound a week is considered sustainable but it is so very hard to be patient.

I also think I have some body dysmorphia as I can barely tell the difference between how I look now and how I looked 60 pounds heavier. Sometimes I get so frustrated at being so unhappy with how I look as it feels like I have done all of this for nothing. Though I really did it for health reasons and all of my health indicators have shown dramatic improvements. But the superficial can still get to me.

The positives - much less stress now about will I fit on things, will people immediately see my weight ahead of anything else. Much less crippling guilt about the way I treat my body.

I don't really have questions, just wanted to talk to other people going through this. [/quote]
