Even at just 10 months out, I totally understand.
I look in the mirror and see a horribly obese person still, although in many brands I wear small shirts and size 6 pants. I don't comprehend just how different my body really is. Thank goodness for friends and family who understand that I'm not crazy and that (hopefully) this is a phase that will pass.
I think we are all in the same boat to a degree, but we have to remember that we are small and 'normal'...Technically below normal because the average American woman wears a size 14.
And BMI is a bunch of crap I think sometimes. My nutritionist said that it's almost impossible to lump every single person that is 5'3'' or whatever into one category and say they should weigh a certain something.
EXAMPLE. Me and my grandmother are both around 5'2''. I weigh 142 and she weighs 150. I am three sizes smaller than her at just an 8 pound difference. The reason? The way our bodies are shaped. At 142 I am still technically "overweight" by BMI, but my nutritionist said that if I didn't lose anymore weight, it wouldn't concern him because I'm healthy. My above average BMI doesn't bother me, because I know I'm a healthy weight for my body type.
Just my two cents/rant type thing
