Great! Cats are accurate observers of the panoply of human foolishness!

For anyone reading this, my blog is asking for advice from your experience. Do you look at yourself differently day-to-day? Some days I look in the mirror and see how far I've come and feel strong and confident and think I look good in my clothes. Other days, I look at the fat that's still there and think I haven't made any progress at all. Guess I just need to know if others have the same confusing thoughts.

Even though I have lost a noticeable amount, I still have days when I look in the mirror and have those thoughts - but now I ask myself the question why I am I feeling this way - usually there is a reason, and it has been dealing with those emotions (mostly through journalling) that has made a world of difference for me on this journey - I still have a ways to go, but I'm pretty sure this self-reflection is what will help me keep from backsliding

These days I get so much positive feedback about my new look, that I just enjoy looking at myself in the mirror, and encourages me to go forward.

I think to ourselves, our body image never seems to be quite what it should be, at least for myself. When I was at my biggest, I didn't see I was that large until I saw a picture. But then once I lost a lot and changed 4 pants sizes, I didn't see that either. Obviously I knew clothes were too big and I knew the scale was changing, but I didn't see those changes as others did. I was absolutely shocked when I started taking pictures and saw the tremendous differences. Even now, I'm in the same place I was last year, but I feel bigger. I look at last years pics thinking I need to get back to that weight again, but I am there, LOL.

Me too. If I have lost weight and still see fat I think I must have lost muscle. But I can see more muscle, but I still see fat.

oh DEFINITELY!!!!! i thought i was getting really skinny but then today i went and bought myself a new swimsuit. aaauauuurrrrrggghhhh time to start all over again. but to be fair with myself, i had to get about three or four sizes smaller than half a year ago. and why is it that sometimes i look (and feel) really good, and just a few days later nothing suits me at all. puzzles me to no end.

Yes, some days I do. You are so not alone in this. My pants were falling off before I would really recognize that I had lost any weight. I look in the mirror and still see the fat chick most of the times, and then there are days that I have my new slimmer clothes on and I feel great, not skinny but a work in progress! hang in there Report Inappropriate Comment |

I feel the same way. It all seems to be related to how I am feeling about myself on any particular day. Just remember you are beautiful and special no matter what size you are.

I do try to avoid the mirrors. I don't even have a full-length mirror in this house. And my gym is not covered with them. For me it's the scale followed by the way my clothes are fitting. I know that my own eyes distort the way I look and make it worse than the reality. With the clothes and the scale, you have more objectivity. You can't have a pair of pants fall around your ankles and still believe that is your proper size.

Absolutely, I do, especially when trying on bathing suits!  If you take your measurements each month, that will help (more than the scale, which is EVIL, you know!). Are your clothes looser, or have you even gone down a size or more? Are you more energetic? Able to do things you weren't able to do before? Look for those NSV's (non-scale victories) and write them down when they occur so you can refer back to them on your "fat" days (like, TOM days, or days after eating out and ingesting too much sodium!). You're not crazy, and you're not alone... you're just like the rest of us!

1st of all, good to hear from you again (you left a comment or a goodie on my page earlier this year). I think most of the other commenters will be with me on this: yes I do. There are days when i put on a pair of jeans and a tshirt that would never have fit a year ago. I look great. I feel great. I know it. other times, especially if ive eaten out a lot, gained a pound or two or slacked on exercise, ill see the flab start to appear (i mean literally just a pound or two). i won't lie, it stings a bit. it's weird that a body i would have given anything for just two short years can be mentally "ruined" in my mind. it's not logical. it's not rational. it is what it is. when i had lost about 15-20 pounds (i think), i had that "walk past the mirror and not quite recognize the image" moment. How we perceive our bodies doesn't always catch up. Other times a bit of puff under the chin will throw me off. all that to say, you're definitely not alone and I'm pretty sure you're not in the extreme minority on this site. It's frustrating, though.

Those times when I got to my goal weight I often thought I still looked fat. Today I look into the mirror and though I look fatter. I am still fat but someday I can't see that I have lost any weight at all. My perception and self esteem level change everyday.

Absolutely. I wish I had more pictures of myself along the way, all the way from 300 to 150. I've lost 34 lbs on this latest leg, and there are days I can look at myself and tell, and other days where I am not so sure. Some days I look at myself and I feel super confident and pretty and all that, and then other days I feel kind of blah and plain and sad-sack. So no, you are definitely not alone, and definitely not crazy. I guess it's just like any other feeling, though. Some days you feel mentally sharp and others you feel dull; some days you are full of energy, others you can hardly move. For me, I just try to remember the big picture and remember that the bad days don't last. =) my friend. You are beautiful!
