Ht. 5'5", Start: 190 lb, Today: 143 lb, Goal: 130 lb - Hey guys, do you have altered perceptions of yourself? I think I do. I mean I know I look different than I did at 190, but I felt I would look different at 130 pounds, which I'm only a pound from being right now. Do you guys think we see ourselves bigger than we actually are, and that it's harder to notice weight loss in ourselves? I was just wondering if anyone else feels this way.

I totally know exactly what your saying! I was 165 and now I am 119 and I still see me as being fat and having a huge amount of problem areas. I know deep down I look good but I still can't shake the look I see i the mirror! I think it has something to do with the way we see ourselves in our mind, with all the flaws and not the good features. I need more self esteem lol but yea I know what your going through!
