im actually finding that its kinda scary seeing myself get smaller and smaller ...I have never gotten this small so fast or even lost this much anytime I have tried a new diet lol it almost feels like everytime I look in the mirror or put my clothes I look and feel smaller it freakin me out and I don't know why...I don't weigh myself cause with how much weight I want to lose I didn't want to get to my goal and always feel like it wasn't enough so that's why im only taking progress pics but it seems like im running into a new problem which is being scared of losing all this weight. help! does anyone else feel or have felt this way?? Or am I just weird lol

    You're not weird. Sometimes when I look at my legs or wrists I feel like I'm in another person's body and that gets a bit creepy. When I look at my face, it doesn't seem like me. That said, I think you should focus on the positive life changes. Why do you want to lose weight? Is it so you can move easier? So you have more energy? Think about how you feel, and worry less about appearances. Maybe you don't actually need to lose weight after all. If you exercise and feel great, that's important. As for me, even when I feel a bit like I'm not myself, I still am happy that when I walk or jog it feels like I have no resistance. I can bike faster, and I have more energy. I can even touch my toes easier for painting my toe nails. That's what makes me happy. :) Best of luck!
