  1. I am having a really hard time seeing myself in this new body, and what I mean by that is I do not think I look that different and I think I still look terrible in a way I think its my mind playing tricks on me to keep me working hard toward my ultimate goal then part of me thinks it the whole ive been fat my entore life so im just not accepting that this is really happening to me I constantly make side by sides and pick my body apart my arms being my biggest target for my mean comments about myself I was 310 ia m now 224 and I still fee like I am 310 lbs when does it kick in that youve actually lost the weight?

      I'm not as far as you, but I am down 60lbs or more. I still feel like I haven't lost a lot most of the time, but when I put on clothes, I feel a lot smaller since I only have a few things that fit right and those are now becoming too large. Some days I can see it and some days I can't. Like you , I really am struggling with my arms. I am pretty sure I am going to have to have plastics on them. I take a picture of myself almost every day and that helps. I don't have a lot of good advice, just that you aren't alone.

      It didn't kick in for me...not until I started going to therapy. I'm not suggesting you do the same, but it's something to consider if you really find yourself having difficulty seeing what everyone else is. It's a type of body dysmorphia and can be very difficult to deal with. Good luck finding your comfort zone with the new body :)

      goodnuff EXACTLTY I dont think at 310 I felt as big as I do now, weird? i think its very weird ive always felt great about myself i was never insecure at 310 I rocked the hell outa that size lol but now at 224 I want to cover up as much as possible and the only place I have bad lose skin is my arms which ive always had so I just dont get it!

       

      outsidematchinside- yes I am for sure going to need surgery to correct my arms the rest of my body is fine actually but arms are a huge issue I work them out the most even had my personal trainer just give me a plan to focus on ARMS ONLY ive lot alot of inches in my arms but they still make me sick :(
