What does 180-190 lbs. at 5'5 look like?

I am a little over 6 months out from Open RNY. I have lost 113 lbs. and I still am having a difficult time seeing it on me. I can look at others in my local support group and see HUGE differences in them though! We had a clothing exchange the other day, and I brought a whole basket of clothes home that were 3 sizes too big or more. I just cant see myself for what I am. I still feel I look the same. I am about 5'5, and around 188 lbs. right now. If any of you are around that, or have pictures of when you were, please tell me where to look at them. Maybe by seeing others around my weight it will help me. I was talking to this lady the other day and I thought, "Wow, I can't wait until I look as thin as her!" and then I found out I weighed 10 lbs. less! When do we get a clear and normal body picture of ourselves? Because it is funny...When I weighed 301 lbs...I thought I looked about 180 lbs. Now, it is the complete opposite! UGGH! Thanks!
