...still see yourself as your pre sleeve size, I still visualize myself the old way and then I catch a glimpse and realize how much I've changed, hate it!

When I start thinking that I am still the pre-sleeve size, I go try on my clothes. The 1-2x sizes are ridiculous. Now I have discovered that some smaller clothes I had been hanging onto from my last 50-lb weight loss ARE WAY TOO BIG now! A little frustrating and scary. What am I going to wear?

It's what is called a positive problem.

I feel the same when trying on dresses I thought I still fit into, although I love my sleeve it still bums me out lol ! But it's good!

Like Cindy, my clothes make it seem more real for me.

I also find it helpful to go to a website called mybodygallery.com. Search for people at your current height & weight. Sometimes seeing other people with similar stats can help. The website is dedicated to helping women with body image issues. I think we all have that.

When I look at jeans in the store, I see size 36 and 38, think no way in hell is my big ass getting in to those, but sure enough after trying them on, they fit. As long as I get relaxed or loose, God has blessed me with tree trunk legs, so tight jeans don't even make it over my calves.
