    I think the only way to cure this is go shopping and buy something that makes you look damn good! Hopefully in a smaller size.
    I often look at people in the street and ask my partner Am i as big as them and he always says no (or hes being nice lol)

    I think 2/3 of Hollywood has that same issue... hence why the plastic surgery industry is so successful.

    Body dismorphic disorder.... may shed some light.

    I'm the complete opposite - I think I look thinner in the mirror than I really am... then I see a current photo of myself and all those dreams become dust in the wind....

    so maybe THAT is why Joan Rivers keeps getting more and MORE done, she thinks she looks the same!!! hahaha sorry could not resist that one

    I do the same thing...looking at photos is the only way I notice that I have lost weight and sometimes those I look at with my old eye. whenever i look in the mirror, I always feel I am still the size I was 10 years ago.

    When I first got to my goal weight, it didn't even register... I still don't think I'm thin even though I can fit into my kids clothes. Lol, sometimes I'll look at a pair of my pants and be like "there's no way I can fit into those" Its weird! I hate taking pictures, but when I do, I'm like, damn I'm skinny... Glad I'm not the only one!

    i only notice in my clothes that feel looser ... having my wife comment feels good , but i never really know if she telling me the truth or just being supportive either way , clothes are the best way for me to notice

    I still have that problem. I had lapband surgery two and half years ago and dropped five sizes. I still go for the big clothes. It is still taking my brain time to adjust after so long, but when I try the clothes on they hang off me and then I realize that the reality is that I have lost close to 100 lbs. My hubby wishes I wear more fitted clothes, but I am still self-conscious. I guess I always will be to some extent. Just know you are not the only one feeling that way.
