You are NOT nuts. I experienced those same feelings when I began trying on clothes after surgery. The first time I put on clothes in a different size, I cried in the dressing room alarming my daughter that I was upset. I said, "No, tears of joy and disbelief." Every time I went in the dressing room until the past 2-3 months, I cried. Now, I whoop inside and pat myself on the back.

Everybody reacts to things differently, and it takes our foggy brains awhile to adjust to what we see in the mirror and what those around us see. You are a unique individual, and it's perfectly ok to feel what you're feeling about your size.

I don't mourn my fat, but the fat girl inside me mocks me sometimes. I was a fat kid, skinny teen, and fat adult. I've spent 41 years of my 45 overweight and miserable, but not any more.

((Hugs)) to you and congrats on the new 'do. I've thought about super short myself.

I def. don't think you are crazy.  I just had this conversation with my bestie.  She was telling me that I am just like I was before....but now everyone looks at me dif.  I am now about to be out of the funny, great personality fat chick that everybody loves......and right into the skinny girl that eveeryone loves to hate with the cute clothes and great hair.  It made me nervous.  I don't think  you are crazy!!!  I cried when I got married b/c I knew that I would never again get to live with my parents!! That, my dear, IS crazy!! Morgan
