When did you stop seeing yourself as fat?

[yorkiegal]

I've lost 5 stone now, and obviously I'm still very overweight but I've gone from a size 28/30 to a size 20. But when I look in the mirror I still see me as I was at my biggest. If I look at a photo I can see the difference but not the mirror. My brain tells me that my waist and legs are much smaller but all I can see is my huge arms, double chin and big stomach. Am I still going to be doing this when I reach goal weight?

I remember years ago I was a size ten for a few months. But all I saw was flabby thighs and stomach.

I'm exactly the same. Nearly 5 stone down, but I can't 'see' where it's gone from, though other people have told me they can see a big difference.
Think our heads take a while to catch up.

I'm 7 stone down and I still see myself as huge I know that I'm not as I'm buying clothes 5 sizes smaller!! But my head hasn't caught up yet!
I don't know how long it will take but I suppose I have become my own worse critic..... All I can see is fat and skin

I will always feel like I'm fat! I look at pics of myself when I was a size 12/14 (where I would love to be now) and I remember thinking back then that I was fat! I have always felt like that its weird!
