Well...
You're doing great! I find that I can tell some difference when I put on specific shirts that swallow me, not because I look smaller in them, but because I can tell how way too big they are. On the other hand, clothes that fit well make a huge difference in how others see me, so if you try on some smaller size clothes and get a few people noticing for you, it might help your perception. Might. I really struggle with this.
