Guys, I am having alot of trouble wrapping my mind around how I look.
Found my old "fat" pictures and had my husband take a pic this morning of me.
I kid you not........I dont hardly recognize that person I used to be, nor did I realize how different I look now...not to this extent.
I've even been told by bunches of people I look at least a decade younger than I did when I was fat...and most people say more like a 13 year difference. When you're in your early 40's and you look early 30's again, it's BIZARRE. (fantastic, but strange as heck!)
It's like going back in time.......the ultimate do-over, if you will.
Dont get me wrong-it's a great problem to have..I know this. I just am trying to process it.
I know it's my mind "catching up" to my weight loss. I just didnt realize how dramatic it was....I see myself every day, I step on the scale, I measure.......but until I put the before and current photos side by side, it just didnt click, really.
I just thought I realized it before.......I really didnt...not like this. It's like a surreal time warp of WTF, and it all hit me like a ton of bricks today.
I posted awhile back that I felt like I was in a stranger's body....this is different. This is more like I'm down the rabbit hole....I havent seen this body this small looking since my teens (despite having been this weight before as my lowest ever adult weight), or my face looking this young in over a decade. It's like I go back and forth between "hello, you gorgeous woman...I remember you!.......nice to see you again" to "who IS this person?"
How long does it take to mentally adjust to a whole new you?
