I saw my full length reflection in a store window the other day and just felt like "wtf? how can I be fat and feel this awesome?!"

This is exactly why I joined 3FC. I needed to remember I'm fat and I need to stay focused on eating better to lose weight. Coming to the forum helps me stay on track.

This ^^

This is exactly what happens to me :(

Sometimes! Usually when I am in front of the mirror getting ready or putting on clothes, or bending over is when I notice. Otherwise not so much since I was about 240.

I had a moment when I felt I was getting fit and then I saw a picture of myself on Facebook standing next to slim, healthy weight girls, and I was just: OMG, I can't believe how big I really look in pictures.

Pictures definitely do not lie.

The responses are so varied.. we really are on our own personal journeys,but are lucky enough to have a safe haven/sounding board/support group here. I realize I have been in denial a long time. Now i look at those pics daily to remind me why i am doing this. My stomach is so embarrassing. I feel like i could get in guiness book of world records for it or something... because my boobs are so big, i really didnt notice my stomach much..and i honestly thought my shirts were long enough to hide most if not all of it... what a rude awakening... it just sticks out there for all the world to see..oh well, this too shall pass. im sure i will have an apron when i lose weight, but that will be better than looking like im pregnant with quadruplets lol.

I know that I'm fat it's not something I ever forget, but my mind tends to forget exactly how fat I am. Pictures are what started this journey for me while on vacation pictures were taken of me when I saw them I was like omg that is so not me. I don't like pictures and with good reason, lol.

I have liked recent pictures of me since the 60lb loss mark, but I still have a ways to go. I plan to be up to 75-80lbs lighter when I go on my next vacation the end of this month.

All the time! I feel great and don't think about it for a second. Unless I have to go out and be around people I don't know.

I think I was blissfully unaware of how bad I was a year ago. I knew my weight was up but I didn't know how bad I looked.

Then, a few days ago, I saw how bad I looked...and promptly removed the photos from my Facebook.

Holy crap...how did that sneak by me?
