Hi, first post to this sub after lurking for a while. 30F. HW 262. CW 196. Current GW 165 After a health scare in August last year (high grade precancerous cells, bladder cancer scare and found out I had fatty liver and a ton of gallstones, Yadda yadda.) I decided to get healthy. I hadn't cared about my weight for a long time and got a shock when I finally got on the scale. I'm now aiming for 10000 steps a day, walking to work and back, swimming here and there and doing cico without much monitoring. I've lost 66lbs in 7 months. My niggle is that when I look in the mirror I don't see a difference. People comment and are lovely. It gives me a small buzz but straight afterward I convince myself they're just being encouraging. I've only dropped 2 dress sizes and feel self-conscious in smaller clothes as I feel like I'm kidding myself, even when they're a bit baggy. Is this a common feeling? Will it get to the point where I can let myself enjoy it? I know I'm doing this for my health, and that's what keeps me going, but I'm starting to worry I might be slightly dismorphic. I feel part of the problem is I didn't realise how big I had gotten and now I almost feel bigger than ever.
