Hi all, so basically i am in a rut at the moment, i have lost altogether 65lb over 5 years and i am stuck at 160lb.
I am 5'9 and i am starting to obsess about how i look, my DH keeps saying the usual "you look fine babe" but i need some perspective.. what do we think? Fat or not? All i see is fat! Currently a 14 bottom 12 top and sick and tired of it

You have a fantastic hourglass figure and you look great. You are NOT fat.

That is a sexually attractive figure.

I think that might be a good idea, because, kindly, “all I see is fat” - you are not seeing what everyone else is seeing and that could become a very serious problem
MaryAndGerryLivingInDerry · 13/11/2021 18:20

I wish I had your shape OP!!

BabbleBee · 13/11/2021 18:20

Omg I’d kill for curves like that!

Tomatobear · 13/11/2021 18:21

Absolutely gorgeous, you have a lovely waist!

Lizzyketo · 13/11/2021 18:23

Yeah i think so, its already starting to effect my every day, everything i do from dressing to eating its always in the back of my mind.

I wish I looked like you. Although I do get that when it's in your head it's hard to accept but you look great. Honestly! In fact you're inspiring me to sort myself out!

Suspiciousmind20 · 13/11/2021 18:23

Not only do you look fantastic (I’d love to have that waist!) but you are also super courageous to do this! Much respect!

Westerman · 13/11/2021 18:24

Wow! Your figure is awesome. I'd love an hourglass shape like you have. Please stop worrying; you are not in the least bit fat. I wish you'd see what we all see.

Lizzyketo · 13/11/2021 18:27

I am truly amazed, and yes i wish i saw what you all do, but i think this has really made up my mind to go see my gp, so thanks all for the the push

What a waist!!!

You have an amazing figure. I hope you're enjoying looking so great.

Chocolatewheatos · 13/11/2021 18:28

Gorgeous figure!

samwitwicky · 13/11/2021 18:30

I would kill to have your body. That waist is AMAZING!!

PlanDeRaccordement · 13/11/2021 18:30

You look lovely and healthy.
If you want to change overall appearance, add some weight training to your routine.
Do you have a “before” picture from when you were 65lb heavier? Look at it to give your head a wobble because you definitely do not look at all fat.

samwitwicky · 13/11/2021 18:31

Out of curiosity, how did you lose the weight?

Noimaginationforaun · 13/11/2021 18:31

Wow you look amazing! I get though if it’s in your head it’s hard to see what other people see. Good to read you’re going to reach out for help! And if you need a boost in the mean time, just keep reading back on this thread and reminding yourself you’re a smoke show!

Meggie2008 · 13/11/2021 18:32

You look great. I'm the same height as you and I'm 50lbs heavier than you. I'd love to be your weight!
