Not What I See

I just started MFP about a week ago, and I just recently lost almost 70lb. I would still like to lose at least 20 more, but something I've started to struggle with is seeing myself realistically. When I see my reflection in the mirror I see something close to a size 12, but when I see myself next to say a girl size 6 or 8 we look the same! I'm still completely shocked at how slow my brain is to processthe weight loss. I also hope once I hit my goal weight I don't still see myself as significantly overwieght! Will my brain ever catch up?
