I started in January with a HW 292. I wore a 24 some 26w. 22 was the smallest I owned still and been tucked away in my closet. SW 251 that was 3 weeks ago. Finally decided to go shopping today. Even those too small 24s I swore were cut too small that never fit were too loose. I'm in a 16 jeans and 14/16 top now....Are you kidding me. I haven't seen that since high school and I'm 38. They were a little snug but hey at this rate not for long. I'm so thrilled. Yet I don't see it when I look at me.

Tomorrow I try on my wedding dress. It is a 20 but small as wedding dresses are. Getting married in a couple months so I am hoping it's a little small. Sounds weird saying that.

I am also curious about when the brain catches up. I 14 months post op and down 132 lbs. I went from a HW of 277 to a current weight of 145. And from a size 24 to a 4. I still look in the mirror and do not believe I am a size 4.

You look great! And you will like lose several more sizes before your wedding.

My size 20 wedding dress fit perfectly when I was an actual 14

I think it will be about an actual 12/14. It's an older style dress.

It was funny trying on clothes I got an 18 then was like hmm bet I can go down a size. They were snug but I figure that is the best way to but now because next week they should be perfect

The wedding dress goes on and zips. Still very tight but I am so happy. It will have to be taken in by my wedding day I am sure but so blessed and thankful. So much easier to take in.

When your brain sees your face it fills in the body that it associates with that face. To see what your body looks like you need to look at a picture that does not show your head from the neck up.

Interesting. I've lost 45 pounds and my brain won't process the change.

Sounds so true

I have been wondering this too. I've lost 35 lbs in about a month but still can't fit into my pre-baby clothes (I've been wearing mostly maternity clothes since my daughter was born 11 months ago.)

it's weird I'm the opposite I'm pre-op and when I see pics of myself I dont see me lol I'm always amazed at how fat I look.
