I came across this blog post:

http://www.marisota.co.uk/shop/page?pageId=7758

I think any woman who has been working on changing her size might like to check this out.. I read so often women commenting 'I can't see myself any different...' here, but I found this super useful because for me, i never could figure out how I compare to other people when looking at them! So hopefully this helps someone else too :)

Oh.. I guessed myself one size too big!

    I guessed myself 12.5% too big. I honestly still have trouble believing it, though. o:

    I tried the site and was very surprised (and disappointed) with myself. I saw myself as much larger than what the site showed me (I was off by about 5 body sizes). It made me realize that I have to take a much closer look at myself and to stop being so hard and critical on myself.
    Thank you for posting this, was a wake up call for me.

    I too found that Nzilles.

    you are 17.5% smaller than you think you are. I used my measurements taken just now but I also have jeans and shirts on so could even be more I dropped 4 1/2 ladies to what I thought.

    Am I the only one who was spot on? Makes me feel I have a bit too much confidence...

    Glad to see I'm not the only one seeing myself in a distorted view! It only goes to show we are often in our heads about our weight loss.

    Super pleased to see others found this useful as well!

    I thought I was 7.5% bigger. Not too much of a difference but still a bit of a surprise!

    WOW! I guessed that I was 25% bigger than I actually am. I truly see myself as being bigger than I actually am. This really helps and is interesting! Thank you for sharing!

    I guessed 25% bigger? I am actually 5 sizes smaller? Yeah, that aint right.

    I guessed much bigger too (22%).

    I did notice that they don't ask for height though. I don't know how tall the models are supposed to be, but it had me placed at lady number 4. Maybe if she's 5'10 she might look that slim with my measurements, but I'm only 5'3. I'm skeptical that this is anywhere near accurate for me.

    Nice idea though.

    I was 22.5% out, and a perfect, if large, hourglass...

    Edited to say:

    No, you don't have too much confidence. It means we should all aspire to be as objective as you.
