I've lost close to 100 lbs and wear an 8. To me I haven't changed a bit. I went from a 22 to an 8 and I just don't see it. I'm still self consience. I still need to lose a little over 20 lbs and I'm sure ill still see myself as "fat". At 5't' and 130 I know in my head that's not fat but can't see myself any differently.

Hope that changes over time. I do use the terms "bck when I was fat" a lot, I guess meaning that's my history, but still feel fat

You said "I do use the terms "back when I was fat" a lot", I say "when I was fatter" because I struggle with admitting that Im thin. I mean thin people wear size 8 pants right? I still see the fat girl in the mirror or when I shop in the junior section I feel like people think I dont belong there.

Im sure Ill get used to it, Ive gotten used to everything else (eating, drinking, etc.).

I maintained a 100 lb weight loss for 5 years with my Lapband and I'm sorry to tell you part of it never really goes away :( ill always be the fat girl on the inside... It gets better but part of it seems to stick around ..

I look in the mirror and only see a fat person staring back at me. Fed up and pissed off with it all.
