I dont understand whats happening with me. I have lost nearly 10 kg now but somehow I dont feel this HUGE difference in how I see myself. Of course clothes fit better, smaller size etc, but I still feel fat. Especially in the last days, when I compare photos/videos of myself before and now I see the difference, but for me it seems like nothing. Am I being too hard on myself? I have around 5-10 kg more to go. I just want to hear if someone has felt the same way,

    I think most people experience this. And, yes, you're being too hard on yourself, especially if your user pic is a pic of you that is current.

    It's not unusual. My body image rarely has anything to do with my ACTUAL body. It's something I work on, but I have come to accept that when it comes to my physical being, I just cannot be objective.

    What rose said ^^
    Reality is the scale, the tape measure, the progress pics, the clothes, not our personal perception. When I weighed twice what I should, I knew I was fat but did not feel as fat as I was. Now, although I feel thinner than I did, I don't feel as thin as what some people perceive me and I am still shocked when I see myself in a picture!
