  1. I am having a really hard time seeing myself in this new body, and what I mean by that is I do not think I look that different and I think I still look terrible in a way I think its my mind playing tricks on me to keep me working hard toward my ultimate goal then part of me thinks it the whole ive been fat my entore life so im just not accepting that this is really happening to me I constantly make side by sides and pick my body apart my arms being my biggest target for my mean comments about myself I was 310 ia m now 224 and I still fee like I am 310 lbs when does it kick in that youve actually lost the weight?

      It kicks in, but you have to work on it. Therapy with a psychologist who understands body-image issues is good. There are also books on the subject, most geared to WLS people who are unable to make the mental/emotional/visual adjustments. No way are you alone in the way you feel.

      I still have trouble with this. It takes time. I started out at 310 and have lost 130 lbs with only 15 to go. Sometimes when I walk past the mirror I am shocked and other times when I am trying to hide all my loose skin, then I still feel fat. Like you I have very large arms and all the weight has not come off of them, I will need surgery to get rid of that feeling.
