Almost there - only 6 pounds to go!

Hello all!

I just wanted to share with all of you that after a year long journey I have no ALMOST reached my goal weight of 150 pounds!
I started out at 275, and at the moment I am at 156 ... 119 pounds gone already.

I can't even begin to describe how different my life is because of the weight loss. I was not aware how much I was depriving myself of things that are fun, and how much my weight used to influence my life.

Shopping for clothes is suddenly FUN, and everytime I can put on a new outfit (I wear shirt size SMALL by now, used to be XXL or even XXXL and pant size is now 6, used to be 22/24) I could just jump up and down with joy (note: I can now jump up and down without getting close to a heart attack :P ), I enjoy running, signed up for a half marathon and a Tough Mudder race in November, I enjoy going to theme parks without being worried that I might not fit in the rides, and even coach seats on airplanes arent the pain anymore that they used to be - life ROCKS!

What's shocking to me though is to see how different people treat me. Im not talking about close friends or co-workers or overall people I know, I am talking about strangers. Now, I am not saying that people on purpose treat big people differently, but it's quite the eye opener to me how much more friendly sales people are, how many doors are held open for me, how overall nicer people are.
Same in the work place, when dealing with customers they suddenly seem to take me more serious.
While I enjoy all that... it is sad to me that there is such a difference in how people are being treated.

Now I am struggling with the last 10 pounds, and they are kicking my behind!!!! I used to lose 2-3 pounds a week, now.... not so much. it's usually 1 pound every other week or so, and even that takes hard work. but im determined to reach 150, maybe even a little lower as to have a little buffer

Here is my question for my fellow fitness pal members:

Have you lost the weight in your MIND yet?

I guess what Im asking is this:
People tell me I look great. I get a lot of attention from guys that I used to not get. I see the size clothes I can now wear. i KNOW in my brain that I have reached a normal weight.
BUT - i still feel fat. in my mind, Im not small yet. I refer to myself as 'less fat', never as normal or even skinny... it would feel so wrong.
For those of you out there that have been in this situation: Did you feel the same way? What did you do about it? How did you get the 'fat thinking' out of your head?

appreciating all of your replies

P.S. I would love to post before-after pics but have not the slightest idea how to get pictures in here. any guidance is appreciated
