I get it...
I can take all the pictures I want--I can hear it from everyone and their brother, and I still look in the mirror and think "my God, your thighs are HUGE..." which they are, in comparison to the rest of my body.
It is a self-image thing--I fit into a pair of size 6 jeans yesterday. Swear to God, zipped 'em up and everything. A year and a half ago I was wearing a far-too-tight size 26, and yesterday I fit into a size 6! I didn't buy 'em--I bought the size 8s, 'cause I like to be able to breathe a little more.
But, in my head, I'm still morbidly obese... and I'm giving myself time for my brain to lose the weight. It has to accomplish the change from morbidly obese to nearly normal weight without surgery, and that takes time.
