How do you see yourself?

I'm just curious as to how you see yourself? And for people who are down to goal how you saw yourself when you were fat? I have never really seen myself as fat as I truly am - I get stunned when I see pictures of myself and I look as fat as I do because most of the time when I look in the mirror I don't see myself as I am - I never have - it's kind of strange - but I also don't have any well lit full length mirrors either - I have one mirror that I can see down to my waist but it's not very bright - and even growing up in my parents house we never had any brightly lit full length mirrors - only mirrors on dressers in the bedrooms - (you know what kind I'm talking about?).........Anyway - I'm just curious as to what you think when you look in the mirror? Warm Regards, Tammy

For me the number on the scale was a lot worse than actually looking in the mirror. As a post-op it is funny that for a week I will think that I look awesome but the next week I will think I look fat again. It is wierd but probably a good thing as it keeps the motivation up. Scott
