Seeing yourself thinner?

I'm down 50lbs since starting in April and have recently had to go shopping for smaller clothes.

So, I was folding laundry yesterday. As I was folding my new jeans, I thought to myself.....Who's are these? Yup, mine in my new smaller size. It's still really hard for me to see myself as thinner because I just don't see it in the mirror. I mean, I know that I've lost weight and I feel better about the way I look, but I still feel huge.
This is something that I'm really struggling with.

Has this happened to anyone else?

    take some pictures and compare them to your old one! you will see a difference

    sometimes it is hard to see it yourself becuase you look in the mirror everyday.

    It took me almost a year to "see" it. And I still don't see it all the time, and I still look at my clothes and think they look impossibly small. I don't have an answer, but yeah-you're not alone.
