It sounds like you have made TREMENDOUS progress...that's a HUGE weight loss in a short amount of time....KEEP UP THE GREAT WORK!

Tape A Before And After Picture On Your Bathroom Mirror So You Can Be Reminded How You Look Now And Maybe That Will Remind You How You Look.

I agree...just yesturday i was looking in the window of Layne Bryants.....i saw a jacket i liked so i went in ..thinking maybe a small size would be ok,..didnt work...it was much to big...even if i wore a sweater or someting underneath.. but in my mind when i saw it i still felt i could fit in it....
ANyway your doing amazing..keep up the great work.

Congratulations on the great job.
Yes, it takes quite a while before your brains adjust to the new you. And, you are still a work in progress, so just do plug on, eventually, your brain will catch up, though from what CraigT has told me, it will take you a few years.

It definitely takes a long time. 5 years out and I only get glimpses of 'getting it' that I'm not huge and fat anymore. Even when I was at the smallest with little body fat I didn't get it. It was kind of like when you buy a new car and it's smarter, faster, cooler, everybody wants one! You know what I mean?
Ownership. That's what one of my medic guy friends told me. At the time he met me he told me I didn't have ownership of my body. To this day nearly 3 years later I'm still working on feeling ownership of my body.
