This discusses the issue of losing weight but our mind still seeing ourselves as fat..... 

Great article. On my "fat" days, I try to go back and look at before and after pictures. It's seriously the only way I can tell that I'm doing great and making progress.

i remember being pre-op and totally thinking that people were nuts when they said they still saw a fat person eventhough they had lots tons of weight!! I actually went as fart as thinking they must be fishing for compliments cause to me they looked fantastic and i couldnt comprehend how THEY didnt see that...OMG i am so there!!!
i feel horrible for thinking that way because i totally know what it feels like!! I too have days where i MUST look at before and afters to get out of the dumps!!

God i love this forum lol I'd be lots without all of this support!!!

great article!
