Have trouble seeing yourself clearly?
Does anyone else have trouble seeing themself clearly after losing weight? For example, my husband and I are the same height, and for quite awhile after having kids I weighed more than him (like 10ish lbs) and felt like I looked like a huge fat monster compared to him in pictures.
