Don't know how long it's been for you, but it is going to take some time for your brains interpretation to catch up to reality. You hear a lot of comments like this in Weight Watchers meetings and other weight loss groups. That's why scale numbers and measurements can be so important as we lose, because our brains just don't get it right away and we can get discouraged because our perception is that we haven't done well enough or changed enough or whatever. It also works in the reverse. People can sometimes be shocked when they realize how heavy or how big they've gotten because they're brain takes awhile to catch up. Totally normal. Good luck! Just keep surrounding yourself with things that show how far you've come: pictures, clothes, whatever.

Congratulations. I know how you feel . I am down 107 lbs and now I think my stomach is huge. It takes a while for our brains to catch up to what we actually look like.
