mirror image!

does anyone other than me have this problem, when i look in the mirror i still see myself as big, i am 5'6 and weigh 163 i need to lose about 15 more lbs. i am wearing a size 9/10. i know that i am smaller than i was, but i still see me big. everyone tells me that i am little, but i think that they are just being nice. i still won't wear anything that is snug, like i have 4 new blouses, but i think they show my fat stomach. help, am i crazy or what? thanks, amanda -106 lbs.

You're not crazy. I am also that way and figure I always will be. I have a very hard time reminding myself even when I look at before pictures that I am not the same person anymore. I might wear a size 10 but my mind has me still wearing a 22. Denise

I have seen both of your before and after pictures and I am here to tell ya, YOU ARE NOT FAT ANYMORE!! YOU LOOK FABULOUS!!!!!!!!!!

bonnie thanks, but i don't have a before and after pic, i wish that i did. denise does though. take care- amanda

Amanda, I am SOOOO SORRY! This is so embarrasing! I don't know what is going on in this head. I somehow confused you with Janie. I am truely sorry. I was wondering if you dream that you are still over weight? When I quit smokeing; I dreamed that I still smoked for almost a year. I wonder if it's something similar. Have you talked about this to your doctor? The one who did the surgery? Surely this would be a common problem.?? But hey, do you have any pictures of you now to compare with ones of you before the surgery. If not; maybe you could get some made of you now. I know the way I see myself in a mirror is not the same as what I see when I look at a photo. Does that sound weird?
