Do you see yourself as skinny?

I don't know if my head just hasn't caught up with my body or what, but being constantly told how skinny I am doesn't make me feel it is any more real. Sure, I'm closer to skinny than I was 125lbs ago, but its weird to hear people call me skinny, or say "Are you a size 8 now?" when you know before they would have never said "Are you a size 24 now?" so its just amazing to me... any feedback would be great, thanks!

Girl when I see myself in the mirror I still see the same morbidly obese girl I was before surgery! I hope one day I mind will adjust to this new body.

I have been contemplating(sp) this very thing. I look in the mirror and dont recognize the person there. I don't see my self as thinner, just different, way different in my face. I feel the same inside. I still have somewhat of a gut, so I dont c myself lighter. I am guessing id that ever disappears. I might be able to say that

i know wat u mean. i get told that all the time but for some reason i get embarassed more than anything. i kinda liked being invisisble before (not literally of course hehe)..so it feels weird. I am now down to 136lbs but yet my mind still doesnt think that is skinny enought.so weird.

I am mostly the same.  I find myself looking in the glass/reflection when I pass to see how i look.  i am still the same fat person inside, and i'm not used to being different on the outside.

I also find that people are so much more bold, asking me what size I am and how much i have lost.  Never would have happened before.

I feel the same as everyone else, I actually blush when someone calls me 'skinny'! I can see the weight loss, it just doesn't register in my head.
