    I feel bigger, definitely! I think it is somewhat a girl thing. Most women I know feel bigger then they really are.
    Yep, right there with you on this one!

    I look in the mirror and still see the kid who was almost 250lbs... I also tend to forget that I'm 27 years old and not a kid anymore.

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

    Even when I see my reflection in the mirror, I see a very large person. :sad:

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

    ...same here. Or when someone says, "you are so small" I always wonder "what are they looking at? my tiny wrists?

    I forget I'm fat until I pass myself in a store window or see a picture of myself.

    I actually feel thinner but I look at myself more closely. :sick: If I looked at myself naked before every meal I'd probably never eat.

    75% of the time I feel smaller.
    23% of the time I feel the same size as I did 50+ lbs ago.
    2% of the time I feel like I'm still 230+lbs.

    100% of the time I see that I'm smaller when I look in the mirror or at pictures.

    I know I am thinner, but I definately feel heavier than I probably should. I feel like there is a lot of weight I could lose, and sometimes I feel guilty eating my max allowed calories for the day. Just trying to gain more confidence I guess

    99% of the time i feel bigger than i am, or than what people tell me i am! But i cant help the way i feel!
    1% usually when im hungry or wearing black i feel slimmer!

    So frustrating when people say 'you dont need to lose any weight, theres nothing on you' ... Errr Shut Up.. when my belly stops hanging over my jeans, maybe then ill believe you!!

    A lot of people recently have been telling me that I am tiny, I don't think I will ever be tiny however I just can't belive that people are actually telling me this. I guess for the most part I feel bigger than I am, but there are times when I am feeling really good and feel "normal" size so to speak...

    I dont ever feel like I am as big I as I am. I guess thats why I am always so surprised when I see a pic of myself. The more weight I lose the skinnier I feel.

    Much, much larger than I suppose I really am, I think. I have BDD (body dysmorphia). Though, I don't know really what I do see or don't (which is part of the disorder). So, when I look in the mirror I never see thin or skinny...I just see large thighs, thick waist and fat rolls on my back....

    am a former Anorexic I have been left with the BDD associated with it and I struggle every day to tell myself I don't look that big to other folks....but I always feel huge

    It definitely depends for me...even when I was over 40 pounds heavier, when I would look down at myself I didn't see the weight, but when I saw myself in pictures it was alarming! But right now, today, I feel thinner than I am. I've gotten back into a whole lot of my prepregnancy clothes, but still have a lot of work to do since I was 15 pounds or so overweight when I got pregnant!
