Now I've Done It!

I thought I looked older once I lost the fat in my face. Lots of wrinkles/gaunt looking (esp at my lowest weight), etc but things have adjusted.

I've been told by total strangers that I look like I am in my early to mid 50's (I am 61).

Thank you - you've helped reassure me on something that I am kind of worried about. Truth be told, if I start looking old I'll get used to it but I won't like it. Not one little bit! LOL

Friends and family are among our harshest critics as we lose weight. That and the person looking back from the mirror.

They are seeing you with "fat" eyes...as you use to be and changing is hard for them. I was told I was gaunt at 170 by family...and I had ONLY lost about 30 lbs by then. And YOU see wrinkles that didn't use to be there before.

If I look at my own face in a mirror, I see the wrinkles in my cheeks...but looking at a photo, I don't see them.
