jakejacobsen

sometimes i buy the wrong size clothes and forget that i have lost weight LOL

i think it just takes our minds a while to catch up with our bodies lol

I'm the opposite... I forget that I'm fat and am always surprised when I see my reflection. I don't buy clothes that are small or anything - I'm realistic about what size I am when I shop, but I'm still surprised when I catch a glimpse of myself that I'm not the thinner person that I feel like.

I feel whether I lose or gain, I am still big.

I feel much bigger than I am. I'm always shocked when someone describes me as skinny!

fatboypup

I think that i'm much larger than I am. I'm not sure when this thinking will change.

My view of myself actually changes ALL THE TIME. Sometimes, I think I am bigger but sometimes I think I am smaller (if I noticed a new NSV lately or lost weight it affects my perception).

I think it will always vary, I am already smaller but in certain areas I over/under estimate myself.

Larger, I catch a glimpse of myself in the mirror at the gym and still can't make the connection that it is me.

The last time I felt larger and I really did crappy that week I lost over 2lbs so I try not to judge myself to harshly anymore

chrisdavey

depends. Mainly on what I'm wearing I think. Always feel small/skinny in office clothes (except for these damn pants that my quads are trying to bust out of LOL) but not so much in beach clothes.

I feel smaller than I am I "think". People seem to think I am quite large but I don't really feel that way.

To kr3851:

A mirror does not define who you are.

If you look good in your clothes and you feel that you look sexy, you are.

Do not let your reflection get you down. When you walk up to someone and they talk to you and you just pour out confidence, they're going to notice that are realize how great of a person you are inside and out.

I know it sounds cheesy, but when you're confident about yourself, others notice.

Smaller. I always think I'm smaller than I am. It's the reason I always end up really big before I stop and go, "whoa, I need to do some cardio or something."

stayxtrue

I look in the mirror and I think I am looking better, but I still feel a little bigger than what I actually am. I think this has something to do with some of the fat that I am struggling to lose around my stomach... Especially the love handles!! They are smaller, but I wont be happy till they are completely gone!

liveinthemix

I feel wayyyyy larger than I really am..

kwest_4_fitness

In my mind, I perceive myself to be smaller than I am, which is probably one of the reasons I got so big. But in my movements, I feel like a baby moose, large and awkward, lol.

dez_yaoichan

while i still fell bigger then people tell me i am, i do find myself shocked when i dont have to suck in or turn to the side when walking through a thin walkway or door. im just so used to the amount of room i used to take up that i find myself still giving myself that room when i dont need it... if you can understand any of that, lol!

kenzietea

I feel bigger, definitely! I think it is somewhat a girl thing. Most women I know feel bigger then they really are.

THIS ^^ I had no idea.. as silly as it sounds.. as to how much I really weighed. Got an awful surprise when trying on clothes a bit over a month and saw full length mirrors.

Mom2rh

I think I am still "fat." I find it rewarding that I am wearing a size 4 and my workout clothes are now baggy...but when I see my reflection I still see too thick thighs, extra tummy, big behind. So not sure how the body got smaller without losing all that stuff!

SmileyJ23

I feel bigger than I am. Caught a glimpse of my reflection in the metro door today and I had to smile I did really well last month dropping pounds and serious inches but when I look in the mirror I see the same me... I look at my progress pics every week to remind myself hey that's me and I worked hard!!

i think im this. i dont think im thin i KNOW im fat but when i look in a mirror its always a bit of a shock just how fat i am/ how fat i look. i always dress and think oh yeah this is good then look in the mirror and think omg i look so fat and ugly!

i think in my head i dont see myself as bad as i really am. ironically when i was skinny i was the opposite i thought i was sooo fat and now i wish i was that small

thetrishwarp

I imagine myself as a big person, but when I look in the mirror, I'm like "oh...I'm actually pretty small." I've been working a lot on accepting and loving my body though. I'm my goal size, so I should!

mznisaelaine

Larger! ...I am losing weight but I definitly do not feel thinner....

Lindsey_81

When I look in the mirror I can see that I am getting thinner and I feel good about it but when I see a photo of myself I feel like I am the same size I was and I feel large all over again.

LolasEpicJourney

I feel thinner sometimes. I think I always have felt like a thin girl trapped in a fast body. Its not til I poke and prod my fat or look in the mirror I remember I'm not that thin,(yet)

juliecat1

Definitely larger. I have a friend who was sort of my body inspiration. I keep obsessing about how it will be to look like her. Well we were out this weekend and I got a picture of us next to eachother. And Im freakin CLOSE. And I didnt realize and still dont see it. Makes me mad.

catshark209

I'm a very small person yet I feel big and bumbling. Total crazy way of thinking.

SimplyShanRunning

Larger. Ms Fatty McFatterson still says hello to me in the mirror each morning
