I can't remember what I weigh...

I started out at 295 pounds and lost 145 pounds in about a year and a half. I gained back 50 pounds when bulimia was at it's worst... And I'm back down 26 pounds right now.
My head is so screwed. Am I the only one? I can't get a grasp on how much I weigh. I was at the store the other day, waiting on my brother to finish his shopping and checking on the MFP app. I had a friend who posted she would "weigh 280 pounds in 5 weeks if every day were like today" and I found myself thinking... "Oh, I weight that now." It was a good 10 or 15 minutes before I snapped out of it and remembered I weigh about a 100 pounds less than that.
And more recently, just a few minutes ago, I was looking at the 'Scooby's Calorie Calculator" and I entered my weight only to be shocked by the BMR it calculated. I knew something wasn't right and had to check MFP -- I entered 20+ more than I recorded this MORNING.
Why can't I get it through my head? I'm not 300 pounds anymore!!!
