i will be six months out next sunday. im down 84 pounds. 

 

the weird thing is...i still feel like i weigh 279! 

 

i really believe it is a mind thing. i still have a long way to go and a lot of work to do. i continually have to look and my side by side to remind myself that this is the new body im in. i just cant get over this lol. 

 

anyone still feel like they look like the body in the "before" picture still??

I think that is SO normal.  But you are down 84 lbs!!!  That is incredible and I hope your mind lets you accept and revel in that fact soon!!

Congrats!  I wake up every morning with my hip bones digging into our plushy mattress and wonder whose body I'm in.  Totally normal.  I can see myself in the window or mirror at a store, and I'll have no idea that that person is me :)
