    Well said! I have almost lost 50lbs and sometimes am shocked to see myself in the mirror...

    Well done! :) Keep it up!! Really hoping I properly 'get it' sometime soon. I have days where I realise how much weight I've lost, just by looking or the mirror or trying on old clothes that are way too big for me or when I see someone I haven't seen in a while who comments on my weightloss, but most of the time I still think I'm big and find it hard to see the weight I've lost. Would be nice to finally accept that I've lost weight and am no longer the bigger girl I once was!

    I know exactly what you are saying! I teach and have been hearing since the start of the year "You're so SKINNY!" and I just smile and say thank you for saying that. I have had a hard time believing that because I see myself in my underwear :)

    But... this weekend I realized that I'm slimmer than most of my "normal-sized" friends. I'm wearing a size 12 (instead of a 22W) and I don't remember ever wearing a 12! I'm having to change my thinking.

    Congratulations to you!!! Thats fantastic - we are our own worst enemies and convincing ourselves that we look good is the biggest challenge!!!!
