It doesn't feel real

I think the most bizarre part of this journey, for me at least, is the fact that some days this all feels like a dream.  I was in the 280s-290s for so long that it's hard for me to believe it when I hop on the scale.  Today I weighed in at 189.4.  I am knocking on the "century club" door.  I know I see the scale.  I know it's really me on there.  However, I'm having a tough time wrapping my head around the fact that I'll be 160 in about 29 pounds from now.  Trust me.  I'm thrilled, but it just doesn't seem real.  I hope my head catches up soon!

I was in the exact same spot as you 280-290's when I started on this venture.  I'm now at 229 and when I was on scale last night I just kept saying to myself "its not real YET, its not real YET".  I guess our heads take as much time to deal with this as anything else, I still fight head hunger so I guess I can't expect head self images take a while to get passed too.  We'll get there!  and BTW- CONGRATS!!! 189 is awesome!!! Hope to join you in the "century club" soon myself

I feel the same! It's like my eyes don't know what they are looking at! Congrats on your fantastic weight loss !

I totally agree! LOL It's definitely going to take some time for my head to catch up to my body. 

I have seen pictures of you..It is real..Congratulations you have done a great job.

LOL....thanks, Larry.  You look wonderful, too!!

Congrats to you!!!!  We both are knocking on that same door and I know I can't wait to reach it!!!! Keep up the great job!!!!

Sometimes are brains are pretty slow to catch up!  I feel the same way.  I hold up clothing and think this will never fit and usually the person with me tells me it would be too big..and they are right. 

It will come!  congratulations on your successes!  They are awesome!

Thanks, everyone!!  It's so nice to be able to talk to people who TRULY understand.

So happy for you!! I feel the same way my surgery was June 5th 2012 and I was 350 and I am now at 256,,,waiting for those 6 pounds to introduce me to the century club door too!

Lets push for more exercise this month and have a century club party on line..lol!  my stalls keep creeping in every week!

I gonna push for more water, protein overdose and exercise LOL!!

This is an awesome dream!!!  If it is not real.....
