Question about body image

Does anyone else go through this?  The more I lose, I still feel really fat.  It sounds crazy but even though I am wearing extra smalls in my scrubs now, all I see is the rolls of extra skin that make me look fat.  I don't see the overall picture.  Is this nutty or what?  How long does it take our minds to catch up with our body image changing?

Go through this?  You're so funny, Sybul! 

Seriously, I'm three years out and still don't see myself the size people say I am. It's better, but when people say I'm "tiny" I wonder.  It's like when a client says to cut their hair short. Their defination of short and mine might be a whole lot different. It's a matter of perception.

Some say it can take a couple of years for your brain and body to catch up. Mine must be on a different schedule.

If the extra skin bothers you, try getting a body shaping camisole. I wear one every day....even on my days off. I buy them at Kohl's and they're about $25 and last forever. It has just enough spandex to smooth out the rolls. Makes your clothes fit so much better.
