On the clothing topic- another question

Do you ever look at your new, smaller clothes and think there is no way my big 'ol body can fit in those?  I particularly do that with my pants.  When I am hanging them fresh from the laundry I always look at them and wonder if they will fit the next time I put them on.  Intellectually, I KNOW they fit (actually are a little loose) but my brain still has a little freak out.  Is it because my brain hasn't caught up with my weight loss or because I was so big for so long and got used to buying pup tents to cover my body?  Am I alone in this weirdness???

 I'm right there with you.  I have to stop myself from grabbing a bigger size most times.  Like ordering a t-shirt from school.  Automatically I went to order an XXL when I needed a Med.  The Med comes in and I think OMG......my 6th grader can wear that!!!  You're not weird.  No matter what everyone else might think.  Love ya!

Well, I disagree entirely.  You are crazy !  But on the clothes thing, it still blows my mind.  I bought a pair of jeans in New York, paid big bucks for them, and wore them less than a month ARG !!!!  But, yes, I'll go to hang something up and think, wow, I can wear that, and the next thing I know it's too big !  Go figure !  But, sorry, you are nuts!

Hey, now!  I asked if I was weird not if I was nuts!  The weird part was kinda of rhetorical- already knew that was a big yes!

Oh I do that all the time! I have been wearing an 18. This morning I pulled a 16 out of the closet, sure I would be hanging them back up. They fit and were not a bit tight!

Yeah-I'm weird too.

You are not alone in this weirdness.  When I fold laundry, I'll look at a shirt I wore the week before and think that it could never fit.  My pea brain is way behind my body on the transformation, even as I see it on the scale.

 Actually, you didn't even ask if you were weird, much less if you were nuts.  You asked if you were alone in this weirdness.  I think folks are taking advantage of the opportunity to deliver a few cheap shots.  I know I'm nuts, so I don't even bother posting the question for debate.

NO YOU ARE NOT ALONE. I LOOK AT MY HUSBAND AND SON'S CLOTHES THINKING ONE OF THESE DAYS I CAN WEAR THAT AND THEN REALIZE TODAY IS THAT DAY. BUT I STILL DON'T LIKE TO LOOK IN THE MIRROR. I STILL SEE THE "BIG" ME!!

Definitely not alone... when folding/hanging laundry, I keep putting my clothes into someone else's closet.

 I also seem to have developed the opposite problem. 

I keep looking at my 3X and 4X clothes and thinking I can still wear them.   I only get away with it if my wife has already left the house.   Then, if I do manage to leave home in clothes that are WAY too big, then I have to spend the whole day in them and they really get on my nerves.

Hang in there - eventually we're going to get that person in our mirror to shrink down to match the one in our clothes... just not sure how long it may take.

John, clean out that closet!!  I feel bad about myself all day when I wear something that is baggy.  I feel fat again.  I try hard to make sure my clothes actually fit. 

I am beginning to get an occasional glimpse of my real body size.  I actually felt like I was a pretty normal sized person yesterday.  Kind of a strange sensation.  I am so used to being the biggest person in the room.
