Could someone please help me!

I feel that I am starting to have a very distorted body image. I am post op from Open RNY for four months now, and down almost 90 pounds. I am so excited about that. But I still feel as though I look as fat as I did before. Even though I have gone from a size 28 pants to a size 16...I still think I look like I should be in a size 28. I am actually even a little embarrassed to tell people how much I have lost because I am afraid they will think "YEH RIGHT!" Anyway, I am just wondering if anyone out there happens to be about 5'3-5'5 and around 200-215 lbs right now....who can offer to show me pictures of what they looked or look like at that weight. Maybe that will help me. I went to the before and after pics, but couldnt find people's heights, so it was hard to tell. I have a picture of me online on my website (click on my profile to get it) and I just still cannot see a difference. I feel better physically from losing the weight, I just want to know when I am going to feel like I LOOK NORMAL! I still feel like the fattest person around. I dont have to be super skinny...I just want to blend in with normal people. Ok, any pics or suggestions would help me so much! Thank you. (open RNY 7/23/02 -88 lbs)
