aprilarnetta reacted to ttdish in Mental Image Reset
I know exactly how you feel! I look at pictures of myself, and I'm like, is this what everyone else saw? Because I never looked that bad/big in the mirror!
And now I'm super critical when I look in the mirror... Am I seeing what everyone else sees? I can see my face is smaller, but don't see much change in my body (without before and after photos).
It's just so bizarre that when we look in the mirror and are overweight, we don't see how big we are, but as we are losing weight, we can't see how small we've gotten.

aprilarnetta reacted to stacyg1 in Mental Image Reset
I'm 17 months post-op and down 130 pounds and struggle with this issue everyday. Like you, I know I'm smaller, I wear a size 4, but when I look in the mirror or in pictures I don't see it. Friends tell me that I'm tiny but you couldn't prove it by me. I've started working with a therapist who specializes in eating disorders and body dysmorphia in the hopes that this will resolve. I have no words of wisdom to offer only to say you're not alone
