When will I see myself the way others see me?

People keep describing me now as 'tiny' and constantly asking me why I want to lose more weight. I realize compared to how I started out, I am much smaller -- under 4'11' and started at 206.6; now weigh 129.4, but I am short too - under 4'11". But when I look in the mirror, I don't see what they see. I see that I am smaller compared to before, but to me, I still look fat. My hips, butt and thighs are still way too big. I am in size 6, sometimes 4, but my measurements are 36-29-39. That is far from tiny! Will I ever see myself the way others see me? Don't get me wrong, I am THRILLED with the new me, but I still want to reach my personal goal of 110, maybe less. Also, what can I say to these people who think I am nuts for wanting to lose more? Thanks for your thoughts on this.
