    WOW i had the same experience. I gained almost 60 pounds this year and was in complete denial of it the whole time. I was convinced that nobody noticed and trying to hide it with clothes. Yesterday I tried to put on anything, my baggiest item, anything and realized nothing fits, even my "baggy" clothes are too tight to wear outside! I went to the gym today and started using myfitness pal today. My fingers are crossed.

    I was in denial. Started out at 261..wore a 18/20. Thought I was pretty and I wore nice clothes so I felt can't be that bad. But I also avoided the camera. When I finally saw what I really looked like (the rolls of fat, the muffin top, the back boobs) I could have cried. Now on the other hand, I have lost 72 pounds. And I still see myself the same....until someone takes a pic. Then I am shocked because it doesnt look like me. Its called "body dysmorphia". We can't see ourselves basically. I want to make sure I keep a good image in my head because I sure dont want to go backwards!
