80+ lbs down and still hard to believe my size

[brokenwings 98]

So i started this process a little over a yr ago. I have lost not as fast as some but I have lost 80+ lbs and got bout 65 to go till i am where i think i want to be. Funny thing is I have went from a size 26 to a size 16 and this week got into a size reg 16 not a plus. But i still have a hard time seeing myself as being thinner. Yesterday I went and put on my scrubs once again and they was so big. I was how did this happen. So i pulled out a smaller size and they to was to big. I relized i have lost and lost and lost and stuck with my much bigger work uniforms. So i guess its time i start trying to buy smaller sizes and accept that this is the new me and I love it!!!

Embrace it and congratulations! I started with size 26 am down to a 20 but I'm still wearing size 22 clothes. I find it hard to picture myself thinner.

I'm a slow loser as well. I started at 267 and am down to 220. I am so hoping to get under 200 by August but I still see myself as looking the same as when I started this journey. People say I'm losing weight but I still see the same me in the mirror.

So I guess what I'm trying to say is accept the new you and keep up the good work!

Congrats! Treat yourself, if only for new scrubs!

I understand what you're going through. I've lost close to 200lbs and all I see is that fat guy in the mirror. I wonder if my brain will ever catch up to my body.

Congrats! It doesn't matter how long it's taken you, 81 lbs. is PHENOMENAL and I know you look great!!! I hope to have the same success, I am so worried about my bad habits though. I will be banded on June 19.

^{Congratulations! I'd say that you recognizing your smaller size is a bit of a victory. Like Jim said...it takes awhile for our brain to catch up. I'm fairly new, but I put on a pair of capris that have been too tight for years the other day completely prepared to take them off because I'd have trouble breathing. i wore them all day with no issues. Its such a good feeling!}

The weight loss is so fast that my brain hasn't caught up either! I have lost 100lbs in 19months and gone from a 26 to a 12. I still try to convince myself that all brands are different and I prob could have worn this size before, I just never tried. Lol. I still see myself in pics as the fat girl and I am one of the smallest in my circle of people now! It's amazing... I am constantly asking my mom to point out someone that is similar in shape and size to me so that I can see it from another perspective. It helps, but doesn't last long. I'm hoping that once I get to a single digit (8!) this year and maybe see a difference finally. =) Congrats and Good luck!

Check out mybodygallery.com - someone here suggested I once as a useful,sight for determining your goal weight, but it also helps me get perspective on my new size!
