There is NO WAY that is ME. Not really anyway... Does the image get distorted through the camera since it's a mirror pic? Because when I look up away from the phone straight into the mirror I look AT LEAST 10 lbs heavier :/

    I understand what you mean. When I lost 50 pounds, I felt the same way, and I didn't see it, I would look at pictures and notice a difference, but somedays its hard. Try to focus on how you FEEL. For me this took working out, lifting weights and doing cardio. I have never had sooo much self esteem and self confidence! I hope this works for you and congrats on the 50 pound weightloss!!

    You are in perfect shape. I think you should do some Yoga so that you can look at yourself moving with other bodies in a mirror. It will help your body image.

    Lol sometimes I wonder if it is my scale the one that lies. By the way what size are you now? you look about my height and that is about how thin I'd like to be and right now am a size 6 and 141 lbs so am trying to get an idea of how much more work I need to put into this to be about your size.

    I'm 5'6... Last Saturday I weighed in at 140. I am a SNUG 4/5. 6/7 are too loose in the waist, but fit through the thighs... 4/5 fit in the waist but tight through the thighs... stupid saddlebags! :/

    I have to take photo's to see the truth, cus my mind has not yet caught up with my body. I still see that 250lb girl looking back, but the photo's tell a different story. I think it's just our minds having a hard time catching up. You look great!

    Being one who has seen you in person I can honestly say that's you dear! Your mirrors not lying, your mind is. You looked the same in person - SKINNY!!!

    You seriously look great! I think I may have the same prob. Now I do need to drop some pounds... but when I was slimmer I always thought I was bigger than I really was. You look good!

    You look friggin awesome...

    I see someone double my weight when i look in the mirror... it sucks.. cuz i feel like all the effort i'm putting in isn't paying off even though i've dropped 2 pant sizes.

    First of all, you look amazing! :) Congrats on your success! :heart:

    Secondly... I have the opposite problem! My hubby's phone camera seems to be weird if you take pictures with it at different angles. It can definitely make me look fatter - it usually does! But like if you hold it tilted up or down when taking a picture, it can make your legs / upper body look bigger / smaller or shorter / taller than they actually are. It's kinda fun to play with sometimes, but more of a pain in the butt when trying to take a good picture! Maybe that's something your camera does? I dunno. Phone cameras can be touchy.

    So maybe, just maybe, it you that's making you look that way in the mirror and not a distortion or false image. You have come so far and sometimes I takes our minds a lil while to catch up to our body. Seeing someone else's reflection, that cant be me, no way I'm that thin. Its a come thing for such a drastic change and years of poor self image. Don't worry Hun, you'll get used to it in time.

    I think that is what is going on here.....

    It's hard for your brain to catch up...people who haven't seen you in a while notice right away. Because you look at yourself every day, it's harder to see the changes. But you look really good! Believe the pictures!
