    I've lost 40+ pounds and 2 pants sizes but I look at myself in the mirror (and maybe this is the problem ... I actually look in the mirror instead of avoiding it like the plague) and now all I see are stretch marks and the pooch that's starting to get really wrinkly from loose skin. It's harder to see the nipped in waist (-6 inches), the smaller hips (-5 inches), the stronger legs ...

    I guess it will come with time. And spray tan.

    Do you still have your old clothes from when you were 2 pants sizes bigger? Try them on! I am serious. Try them on and remember how tight they used to be and see how loose they are now.
