Hey guys

[Glen Dean 17]

Feeling a little odd today.

I see myself in the mirror or a reflection some place and I still see a 340lb me. What the heck is happening?

I assume you mean you figuratively see the old you. I was just talking about a similar thing last week with my boss at work. I am currently at 245 from a high 325, and shooting for 195. In spite of being down 80lbs, I still identify as the 325 guy in a lot of ways. I guess the point is, maybe it takes a while for our self image to catch up with our changing reality...?

Oh, and if you are *literally* seeing things, drink more Water, and sit in the shade! ;-)

I was meaning figuratively.
I started out at 340 last August am today 252. Wish my brain would catch up already. Lol
Thank you for your response.

I get that... I've moved to avoid someone that I noticed in the mirror while walking around at the gym... and it was me.

The one thing I do to help in that situation is take a current photo and compare to previous. It's a conscious effort to view yourself in a new image, but I find that pictures help make it a reality in the subconscious.
