Opposite Effect
 

I found out today that I have officially lost 10 pounds! Then why when I look at myself naked do I find myself bigger than before? Anyone else had similar experience?

I think it works the same way as when people say to use a smaller plate and it will look like you are eating more food.
For example if I started big all over and somehow my waist got smaller it would appear that my butt was swollen when in reality it just looks bigger cuz my waist is smaller.

I feel really bloated in the first two weeks (veggies, beans and water!) so I know I feel like I haven't lost anything - I totally understand!!! But I trust the scale so, take it in stride!

Katy, congratulations on losing 10 lbs! That's awesome!
How are your clothes fitting? Do you notice a difference in them? It always seemed to me, too, that the more I lost, the bigger I looked. But I was consoled by seeing that my jeans were getting baggy.

I agree...I bet your weight is shifting...so (probably) your top and waist are smaller, which in turn makes your bum look bigger (even though it probably isn't). Did you take measurements?

CONGRATULATIONS!!!

I've had this same problem - when I do I just quit looking in the mirror for a while! ;)

Congratulations on your 10 lb loss! I bet you look great!
