    Yes! Every day! I've lost 12 pounds but I can barely see where it went. I look in the mirror and I still see things the same as they were 12 pounds ago :/

    When I look down, all I see is boobs. It's a "problem" I'll never mind having.


    Like :wink:

    Always. I have fat days, boney days, short days, tall days, good days, bad days and every other type of day. **sigh**

    So glad to hear im not the only one! I was beginning to feel a little crazy! The only thing that seems to help is when i put my "fat clothes on." then there is no denying the fact that im not close to the same size!

    A lot of the time this happens to me too. I'll look at myself one day and think 'hey, you're looking really good!', and then a day or two later I feel as though I looked like I did at 140 pounds. Same weight, same measurements, clothes feel the same as they did a couple of days before, but something in my brain goes *click* and suddenly all I can see is the heavier lazy me again.

    I'm right there with you (though I weigh more.)
    I'm trying to measure by "hey, my back no longer hurts when I get up in the morning," and "my clothes still fit." I'm pretty sure I'm in the "look better with clothing" camp right now (though I'm striving for a "look good nekkid" rating.)

    yeah I defenitly don't feel comfortable without, or with very little clothing. It feels like everything is magnified if I don't have anything on. I'm glad I'm not the only one thinking I've gone crazy! Maybe it's because I've been overweight for years and years and started my lifestyle change only last year...I hope one day my mind can catch up with the rest of me and finally be happy with what I see

    Every day. This morning I was looking and saw saggy skin and the first thought was 'Great. Now I'm fat -and- wrinkly'.
    But a few things happened to set me straight.
    1) I was running late and grabbed the first pair of black pants I found. They wouldn't stay up....they were size 10 (I'm now a 4).
    2) When I was out for my lunchtime walk I saw a girl in a dress and thought 'She has great legs. I wish I was small enough to wear something like that'. Then I realized that I was smaller than her. I could wear a dress...it's not my body, but my 'fat' mentality that's holding me back.

    I feel my stomach now is bigger than it was before I started my diet, I have lost over 60 lbs in weight in just over 200 days. I get told off by my partner complaining how big I look. I can see I've lost weight on my chest, arms, legs, etc, but not on my stomach. It seems gravity is pulling everything to that point on my body. I absolutely hate it.

    I'm sorry you aren't getting much support from your partner but I think 60lbs is an awesome loss! As some have said previously, the tummy is the last thing to go...I hope that it will shrink down more ( I absolutely hate having that pouch there..) Best of luck on continuing your journey.

    I skype with my husband a lot (he's currently deployed) and the top portion of my body looks way smaller and then I stand up and my bottom half looks crazy compared to the top..ugggg I don't know if I'll ever look the way I want to look but at least I know I'm getting healthier and more active
