Cazzy 725 Posted October 14, 2012 You can definitely see a difference, just remember our eyes and brain lose wieght a lot slower than our bodies, we are so used to seeing big, our perception is totally screwed till we have as long being smaller as we were big !

Morganjm 5 Posted October 14, 2012 Yes I can see a big difference. You look a lot smaller. This is great, keep up the good work. I have lost 58 lbs and cant really see much difference either, but had to buy one size smaller clothes. Yay for us!!!! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

You can't see the difference? You look amazing! Keep up the good work. You can tell just in your smile and body language that there is something different, not to mention you're smaller. Way to go! 1 0ldM3By3 reacted to this Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Sojourner 2,446 Posted October 14, 2012 What you are describing with having difficulty with recognizing the difference between your before picture and current picture is not uncommon...it does take our mind some additional time to catch up with body to revise the body self image. Another example that I can laugh at now was the automatic thoughts regarding my weight as I fell into "onederland"...for months after I got below 200 pounds, I would still automatically think of my weight beginning with a 2 instead of a one. You will eventually have your mind and body in the same place...however you are still going through adjustments. Congrats on your progress! 2 ☠carolinagirl☠ and SinCityGal reacted to this Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

♕ajtexas♕ 3,771 Posted October 14, 2012 Boy what a difference! You look great. Your mind will catch up in time..... The biggest reinforcement for me isn't the scale, it's the clothing sizes. I started at 20W and now I a wearing 12's.This morning I realized that I wear the same size as my 13 year old daughter, boy is she going to be pissed when I tell her I can wear her clothes.....lol 3 0ldM3By3, maryan1 and okiekatt reacted to this Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
dj112 21 Posted October 14, 2012 Absolutely see a difference! You must FEEL lighter as well. I've lost 20 lbs and I don't really see a difference at all but I feel lighter and don't have this big stomach in the way anymore. Plus I have no more lower back pain when I walk! 1 okiekatt reacted to this Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
