I just don't see it

You do look great and it takes time for our minds to adjust to the physical changes. Others have posted on here about how the mirror or a camera seems to lie. I think there's even a term for it called body dismorphia for extreme cases (which I'm not saying you have!). Anyway hang in there and keep doing what you're doing - one of these days when YOU see the changes you will be amazed.
I havent been in any pics since my pre-op ones I did night before surgery. But the only time i have noticed my weight loss is when I go to try on something and think ohh man thats not going to fit. I did that this morning with a pair of size 14 jeans from New York and Co that I got from goodwill. They are a slim fit jean and fit, needless to say I was shocked because they look tiny when I look at them. I guess going from a 22 to a 14 is nice.
I'm almost 11 months postop and I'm just starting to see how small I really am. Its strange. Like I can see the "8" or "small/medium" on my clothing tags but I don't always see my body being "small or medium." You will see the difference with time. It takes our brains awhile to catch up with our weightloss.
