Body Image Shift?

So, I was wanting to know if anyone else has experienced this. For the past week or so, I look down at my body and it doesn't look like mine. What I mean is I look at my hands and they look totally diferent from how they have ever looked. I look at my feet and they are slimmer and I don't wear Wide sizes anymore and they don't look like hobbit feet. I look down at my stomach and I can actually see past it to the floor without sucking it in. My whole self-image up to this point has been set as overweight and now my body is leaving that behind and my mind is having one heck of a time keeping up. I guess I want to know if I'm totally weird or if I'm not the only person to go through this.

BTW, I walk past mirrors and look to see myself because I don't really recognize myself. I find myself walking along looking at my hands or feet just getting used to it. I guess since I have about 30 lbs to lose and the differences are more striking I just can't believe the changes.
