Being hypercritical of yourself isn’t the same as being healthy though. It’s great you’ve lost weight, which will make a big difference. But going on at yourself all the time about having thunder thighs, childbearing hips or being a fat fuck is just being nasty to yourself. There’s plenty of research evidence to show that constant negative self-talk is actively damaging to mental and physical health. You can aim to lose the same amount of weight without all this alongside it. It’s not a choice between being horrible to yourself or losing weight. You’re the same whether you say horrible things or not, and the same whether you buy a 10 or a 12/14.

It’s being honest. Seriously the photos of me last year and year before esp summer. Omfg. It shocked me I didn’t see how big I had got 😳😳

nearly 17.5 stone and prob a size 20 if honest as found a 20 jeans

I do have bulgy hips. Annoys me

I was a fat fuck

thats not be being horrible to myself

I love myself - I’m a bubbly blonde

but the camera doesn’t lie

and my before pics are shocking

but

saying all that

i am proud I’ve lost weight. Healthier and happier (also losing many stone of a dh lol)

So when someone else on here posts up their before picture where they're a similar size are you just thinking to yourself oh, they're a fat fuck? why not, if that's just being honest?

No as I don’t see it on others

just my pics. I’ve said before the one of me wearing a red top. I R.E.M. that day so clearly and thinking I looked nice /ok in the mirror

I so did not !

we are blinded by our own faults - not others

I’m the same about myself @Blondeshavemorefun , I’m horrible about myself even if I don’t voice it to others . I see other women who are carrying a lot of weight and think they carry it well and still look put together but I looked a disaster ! Even now I’ve lost so much, I still think I look dumpy and podgy🤷🏻‍♀️ but think everyone else who has lost looks amazing . It’s a hard mindset to move on from. You looked good in the black dress - uplifting bra and it’s good to go, another nice summer outfit. I wouldn’t worry about getting other size as it’s fits you well, it’s not too tight. You just need to adjust to your new image😊

weaselyeyes · 15/05/2025 13:06

I'm pretty sure most of us feel rotten and critical about ourselves - years of weight and eating issues do that to a person. It is really hard to change. But logically it is a real double standard to say everyone else is fine, it's just me. It's tough to try to move towards a more accepting way of being; I certainly haven't managed it. But we don't have to be wonderful now, and we shouldn't need to insult our former selves to feel good about progress. I don't want to somehow be better now I'm a bit thinner - I'm the same person, just pleased I opted to make a change and have so far managed to get some of the way I wanted to go. I've not just criticised myself, I've also had the delightful experiences of walking down the road and having someone call me a fat fuck or look at the size of that arse etc. In spite of those people obviously being tossers, those words - and all the others like them I've heard - have stayed with me for years. It would be good not to hear people using them against themselves and reproducing that nastiness and contempt.

I recently listened to this woman at work go on and on about how much she hated curly hair, how messy it was, what a pain it was, how you were constantly at risk of looking like you'd been attacked just because it was a bit humid - on and on. She made her struggles with the hair straighteners sound like life or death tussles! This woman has what I'd describe as a natural wave, whereas I have fully curly hair which goes into ringlets in places. After a while she must have noticed me looking at bit Hmm as she suddenly went, oh not yours of course! And you just think, yeah right! Luckily I'm not very sensitive about my hair (which can be a pain!), unlike my weight!

same as you - I look at others and think they look nice and wear stuff that suits them

I did think I looked nice /ok in some of my pics but now in hindsight I’m seeing me as a large lady. Is they better language then a FF

I still have a tummy and hips / it’s very annoying. Maybe I should order the next size up. But that’s 12/14. They don’t do single

its 8 10 12/14 16

annoying

@owlybooyes I see what you mean

@Azuresky68 post that dress

You really don't need a bigger size but if it makes you feel more comfortable then go for it. As I said many times sizes are irrelevant because they vary so widely across brands plus a 12 on someone who is 5 foot 6 is very different to a 12 on a short arse like me!
Great underwear makes such a difference and doesn't have to be expensive. My best knickers for wearing under white jeans or white dresses are big primark flesh coloured ones...definitely not sexy though! My favourite bra is a Fantasie brand from an independant bra shop. I always get measured for bras too.

Azuresky68 · 15/05/2025 14:02

We have all done so well with losing weight BUT now we have to use the same strength to use positive self talk to put ourselves UP not put ourselves DOWN! It can become a good habit once we practice it..I am quite good at this now..instead of focusing on my wrinkles and sags I am saying to myself I can't do anything about that so stop thinking about it and accept my body as it is now and celebrate the fact that in my 50's I went up to 14 stone and am finally at 68 I am the weight I want to be. We can't regret the past...waste of time. Focus on right now and enjoy our success. @Blondeshavemorefun you are now wearing a size 10 and have been a size 20. I am size 8 but I have been a size 18. I only care about now as I can't do anything about the past.
How fab not having to wear baggy cover up clothes this summer!

K9Mum · 15/05/2025 14:04

Wtf

Azuresky68 · 15/05/2025 14:08

On another note, I have been sitting in my car for about 30 minutes after feeling like I was going to faint in M&S while I was with a friend. I never get like this but remember someone else mentioning something similar on the thread before. Picked up a salmon salad and ate it in the car as I wasn't fit to drive. Outrageous prices in M&S food..I usually shop at Aldi.

On another note, I have been sitting in my car for about 30 minutes after feeling like I was going to faint in M&S while I was with a friend. I never get like this but remember someone else mentioning something similar on the thread before

it may have been me because I have mentioned it in the past. It even used to happen before Mounjaro and always after I’d been to a particular bistro for breakfast (the same breakfast I’d have at home) and I’d then go for a wander round the shops. I’d come over all funny and once had to be sat down by my daughter in a clothes shop to recover. Then it continued to happen for a few months after I’d started Mounjaro and I thought it had gone till 2 weeks ago when I’d gone far longer than was good for me between meals as I’d been out and about when I felt the trembling and the sweating coming on so I nipped into a very handy supermarket and bought a salad which I ate in the car.

Then one week ago I felt trembly again but I was at home so I quickly checked my blood sugar and it was very low at 3.4. And today at my gym session on the very last excercise I felt a bit light headed and trembly and had to have a date and some electrolytes.

Its very easily remedied and for me the secret is to remember not to just put it happening down to Mounjaro and try to ignore it but to understand it’s your blood sugar and to have something to hand, a date or boiled sweetie works so it can quickly be stablised.

I think once I’m off Mounjaro it will right itself and won’t bother me again.

I hope you’re feeling better now.

Azuresky68 · 15/05/2025 15:58

Thanks. Please can you let me know what the material is like when you get it? Some are t shirt material but some have a nylon feel to them.

NippyNinjaCrab · 15/05/2025 16:16

Imho I think that's just how blondes talks, although I do think you've been very harsh on yourself on threads gone by, you were in a plateau and some posters had less to lose and were down a couple of sizes. Your hips make me laugh lol, I've got an omg I've just given birth belly and I've not had kids 😅 🤣
I agree we are so down on ourselves despite the weight loss to now, my DH told me before starting MJ that I had to stop saying I was a FF because he didn't see me that way and it upset him that I hated myself that much. I see myself on the ring doorbell and I like what I see, im just smaller, I still walk weird and have ugly toes but these things never bothered me as much as being large.
I have wavy curly hair, my whole head is a variation of 2a,b and a wee c. Maybe the work colleague was feeling shit about her hair and getting in there before anyone had the same thought that she had, her hair looks like she's been dragged about, it's another version of apologising for ourselves.

Sorry felt faint @Azuresky68 tho M&S food is lovely but I think costly

The black one and flower one are both silky feel so I assume this one will be the same

Blondeshavemorefun · 15/05/2025 17:47

@Azuresky68 don’t shout at me lol. Tho I know I’m not a size 10. I’m not sure how I got into that dress as 16 trousers can be ok on me but can’t get into a 14 so how the hell did I get into a Temu 10 dress

thanks @NippyNinjaCrab you know what I meant

I like myself now. I don’t see myself as slim tho others do but that’s as they are used to seeing me much larger and now smaller / slimmer

obv I look diff I’ve lost over 5.5s

I know that

Hello all! Hope we are keeping well. Still struggling to exercise but aiming for a (good for me) 5000 steps a day. I’m away over half term and really need to think about how I manage breakfasts and lunches in front of family.

We are off to Yorkshire! Staying in the uk this year, four holidays but all in the uk. We will have a big cottage and lots of shared meals.

im hoping i can get in lots of steps and drag various family members for walks to get my calories burnt.

think ill make a big shakshuka for breakfast one day as it’s such an easy healthy protein breakfast.

SilverSprings510 · 15/05/2025 20:58

NSV today as I did my measurements again having not done them since Feb. Loads more inches off and have lost about 40 inches off my body in total, which is fab! That being said I am still obese according to BMI 🙃

Re: chat before about positivity etc. one of the worst things for me about losing so much weight is how much kinder everyone is to me. Whilst I realise that sounds weird, it makes me sad because the old me deserved kindness too, even if she was in a bigger body. I will never be unkind about the old me as she was doing the best she could at the time. Sure, I look a lot better and am a lot healthier, but that doesn’t mean I should be mean about her, if that makes sense! I transfer that kindness to others, because when I see people who are overweight etc, I know that they’re just doing their best at the time, and don’t think of any further judgements. It’s easy from the “other side” to say oh he/she would look/feel a lot better if they did xyz… but it’s not our place.

Blondeshavemorefun · 15/05/2025 23:16

Wow 40 inches off @SilverSprings510. That’s amazing. Well done !

sorry people weren’t kind to you when larger

I never had that. People were never horrible /rude/called me names /etx

sorry to those who got abused verbally

OP posts:
owlyboo · 15/05/2025 23:21

@SilverSprings510well done on the inches!

and I completely get the nicer to the slimmer you. I had a conversation about slim privilege with my friend the other day. She is slim and always has been. I explained how much slim
privilege there is with people being nicer to you. I explained people now let me cross the road more quickly etc. and she couldn’t believe it. (She’s lovely so not couldn’t believe it in a bad way but hasn’t experienced fat phobia) But it’s not just me imagining it. People are 100% nicer to you when you present as slim rather than big.

owlyboo · 15/05/2025 23:25

And also ditto @SilverSprings510I'm not embarrassed of old me. She was the one that got me to the new healthier me, she was a bad ass. Did what needed to be done. Started those walks whilst obese. Scaled those hills even though it was hard. Ordered the MJ made that change. Love every version of you as they’re all what makes you YOU!
