this is a serious question, when do you get to a point when you can look at a picture of yourself and believe that its really you......cuz 8 months ago i know i looked nothing like this, but i still keep looking thinking "this cant possiblly be what i look like!"

im not fishing for compliment in any way, infact please dont! but i really wanna know when that belief that the person staring back from the mirror is really me?

    Michelle, I am a little different (maybe)...the change takes so long to occur (unless you avoid a mirror for nine months) that it is impossible to be surprised at what you see. Personally, I don't think I will ever be truly satisfied with how I look until I see a six pack staring back at me and I still think I am months away from that..

    Having said that...awesome results on your journey, my lady!

    In all honesty, I don't think it fully does go away. For me anyway, the disbelief never fully goes away.

    We have a full length mirror in work and every time I pass it, I keep glancing at it fully expecting to see the old fat me in the mirror.

    By the way, I know you've said you're not fishing for compliments but you do look amazing. :flowerforyou:
