I just thought i'd ask.....
When I'm thin ..or when i was...I thought I looked fat, i could see every imperfection.
Now I'm heavy and most times I've felt thin. It usually takes me having to go some where special to realize I need to lose weight and I'm sad i can't fit into anything i want to wear. Having had many people say my eyes were broke when i was thin and could not see that i was.....i find it quite possible that thinking I'm thin when I'm not is the same broken. Just wonder if this might be common.

Maybe you're just finally comfortable in your own skin? I know when I was at my thinnest, I was still not happy. When I later gained and it took looking at pictures of myself to see how bad it was. I've lost 20 since then, but am nowhere near my thinnest. Fact is, I don't want to be. It was too thin, I can see that now. I'd like to lose another 10, but even more importantly, I want to feel healthy. I think healthy at 50+ is not the same as healthy at 30 or 40+. My body changed and I hang onto weight in different places. I've learned to shop for clothes that fit and are flattering, and got rid of anything that was not. I exercise, and try to eat right (on most days) but don't beat myself up with it when I don't.1

I use photo's now to ...thats the only way i caan tell anything about my weight....i was all of 102 pounds through Til I was in my 30's so ...oh no i don't expect that would look good on me now
feeling comfortable...sometime i am to a fault! Til i see a photo or pass a mirror. My family has stopped asking at holidays to be in pictures cause they say i wont let them keep any. I'm to the point were i just say "don't show me the picture" problem solved.....not in the least...its time to make a change
Did i just forget were this was going? work is calling! 0 -
I have thought this myself. Sometimes I honestly don't recognize myself right away when I pass a mirror.2
