Body image....when did you grow into your new body
I am just curious.....when did you find that you felt like you looked? What I mean is that since I've lost this weight I look in the mirror and I can't believe it's me. I still feel like the woman that weighed over 300 pounds. Tonight I tried on my 16 year old daughters jeans and they fit! It just seems so weird. I can't get used to it. I am wondering when others felt that they had grown into their new bodies so to speak. I am not complaining at all. I am soooooo happy with what I see in the mirror....I just can't believe it's me.
21 months, and I still haven't.
Oh, I know when I pull jeans or T-s out of the dryer that mine are the smallest ones, and I know when I go to the store that a dress I pick up will be too big, but I'm still consistently surprised when I see a reflection of myself.
I dunno - I was consistently surprised when I was big that I was THAT big, and now I'm consistently surprised that I'm THAT small. My mind has always thought I was about a size 10 - and I don't think I've ever been a 10 for more than a month! LOL!

OMG me freaking too!!!
I look back at pictures of myself on FB, ones I thought I was looking good in and am damn near disgusted. I never looked that big to myself.
But when I look in the mirror now, I'm often harsher than I ever was. Odd lumps, bumps and saggying skin seem to affect me mentally more than fat ever did. :-S

i can't wait to go through this. i know when i look at pics or at myself in the mirror i am totally disgusted with myself. I can't believe i allowed myself to get this big. But as far as feeling big i never have. So lets see what the feeling is like when i get down to my weight from say 10 years ago..lol and when i look in the mirror..it should be interesting.
