First, I wanna say I'm very proud of myself. In the last 9 months I've lost almost 60lbs, but I'm realizing that when I look in the mirror I still see the woman who was almost 320lbs. I take pictures to see my progress because that seems to be the only way I can visualize it.
I'm going back to Universal Studios in a few weeks and I was looking online at their shirts. I've always wanted a specific one of their cute shirts, but when they first came out I was too big to fit in one. Of course the site is out of the one size I need, but my sister remarked that she had it in that size. She told me to try it on and see if going up a size would work. Her shirt fit perfectly and my mind sort of short circuited. To me, as someone who has been extremely overweight my entire life, my sister's body was a goal, but my brain is just not comprehending how we are now able to fit the same shirts, pants, etc. I just don't see it when I look in the mirror and it made me a bit emotional. I'm wondering if anyone else has gone through this after weightloss?
It feels really odd to look around in a sea of people and not know where you fit because you don't know what your body even looks like anymore. I still have so much weight left to lose and I'm wondering when my brain is going to catch up to my body.
