Does everyone notice your weight loss except YOU?

ive lost 85 lbs and at a healthy 170 lbs and i still..STILL think of myself as 'fat'. someone yelled' FATTY!' the other day in the street and i immediately turned around..the guy yelling said ' not you, your'e not fat, im yelling at that guy in front of you.". i just stared at him as if he was nuts. ill always be 'fat'.

I hear you.
I wear smaller clothes, but I feel like the same big girl. I look in a mirror and still see the same person I used to be.
That's the part that's more important to work on than losing weight, to be honest.
Knowing that you're wonderful and amazing and worthy of so much,.... even at your highest weight.. and that it won't change just by losing 1lb, or 1000lb.. you'll still be wonderful and amazing.
It's tough, but the mindset will eventually ease. At least I hope so :P

I don't notice it nearly as often as other people do. My husband keeps telling me I'm as "skinny" as the girls I tell him I want to look like. I have body dysmorphic disorder and I'm always quick to notice flaws before I'd notice progress. My confidence is improving, but it still feels like a long road.

So far I've lost 40 pounds, and I have a lot of people tell me they've noticed. But, like you, I still look in the mirror and don't see the difference. I still go to buy the bigger clothes, but then stop myself. I still have more to lose, but just have to take day by day. Enjoy the compliments! Keep up the good work!

At just over 50 lbs lost, I'm not halfway there just yet. I still don't see the weight loss in the mirror, even though the jeans I couldn't pull up and button are now so big on me that I can't wear them.

My "max size" was "I'll never buy jeans bigger than a 22" I stayed at that 22 by switching first to stretchy jeans, then stretchy slacks from Lany Bryant, and finally the stretchy t-shirt material baggy pants. In fairness, I was probably 24 pushing 26. Now, I'm down to an 18 with no muffin top.

I still have 75 to loose roughly, and despite everyone being so shocked at how much different I look, I still see a fatty in the mirror.

SOME days I can remind myself that I've lost 50 pounds and I'm doing great, but lately, especially now that the weight loss has slowed, it's pretty discouraging to look at myself.

Then I'll do something cool, like jog across the street to beat the light change, or dart up a flight of stairs rather than plod, and still breathe just fine at the top, or something along those lines, and realize that while I might not see it, I can feel the difference, and really, that's a big part of why I'm doing this anyway, and when I get to the point that I can do a mudder, I'll just be that person that rocks a mudder, and still feel like a fatty, and seriously, how many people that DON'T feel like fatties still can't do a mudder?

I feel like that's happening to me. Family, friends, and coworkers are starting to notice I've lost weight. But the truth is I haven't lost very much (around 10 pounds total, I started this before joining MFP), so I don't notice the differences yet. Last year I lost 20 pounds and didn't feel like many people noticed it unless I brought it up. This time I've lost half as much and it seems everyone has commented on it. I'm flattered and happy, but also a little sad that my self confidence is so low that I can't see it myself. Anyone else have this problem?

Aww !! don't worry dear it happens ...have confidence in u r self ...

self confidence is the basic whatever we do after giving our 100 % we have to satisfied that's all we have done..
