I am right there with you! In fact, at our meeting today this was the topic.
I have lost 70 pounds and although I am much slimmer and know that I look "normal", I still feel like the huge elephant in the room that everyone is staring at. I just wish my mind would catch up and I would realize that I am not 256 pounds anymore. For instance, today my husband wanted to go to the swimming pool with our 2 year old. I said, "yeah right, like I would get in a swim suit." And then when I thought about it, why can't I?? I am a size 12. Many woman are that size and go swimming. Why can't I see my body for what it is now? Why am I still seeing the fat me?
