Eliana, I think this is one instance in which you have to turn to outsiders for a more objective opinion. Your problem (and probably your strength) is that you are a visionary. Regarding your appearance, I mean. You look at what you have done so far & see only what can be improved, & how far you think you need to go. But you're the only one who has those particular improvements in mind. The rest of us just see what you've done; we have no Platonic ideal "after" to go by & to measure any so-called shortcomings against.
I have to ask, what about your ribcage & belly & waist, girl? Look at the shape you have in that dress. Then look back at what your shape was like in the yellow top. If you grab a handful there, you've got to be holding much, much less in your hand than you did months ago. (Remember the old "pinch an inch" commercials? I hated them because I could always pinch lots more than an inch. But that's the measurement I am talking about.)
Otherwise I would say you're one of those who has a proportionate loss, pretty much all over. There's no one part that simply deflates. You're going down everywhere simultaneously. I think that's the hardest weight loss to grasp as far as reconstructing one's mental image of oneself goes. It's easy to notice if your boobs shrank or your butt is smaller. It's much harder when everything overall has gone down.
You need Sirenity to show you how to do one of those amazing morph images, like the one she posted a week or two ago. Then you would actually be able to visualize what all your hard-won labor has gotten you. Please, please do not discount your accomplishment just because of that Vision of yours. You have done something amazing. Truly.

I think you nailed it and if I look at it that way I guess I can be ok with it too. I do lose it all over. Apple shapes already have skinny legs so 60 off the top is going to be more dramatic than 60 pounds off a....what am I...a regtangle? LOL! Us "rectangles" perhaps lose it everywhere and maybe it's harder to see.
Thank you!
