When I look in the mirror at my face I think that I look like a "normal" person. But when I look at my body, I still feel fat.
Often when I'm sitting down and I feel my shirt a little bit snug on my tummy I feel REALLY fat and I look down at my "fat" tummy and am surprised that it isn't huge like it used to be. It's not nice and flat either but it is by no means anywhere near to as big as it was.
I gained 6 pounds over the Christmas season and when I tell people I need to lose that again they look at me like I'm an alien! I try and explain that 6 pounds can lead to 10 which can lead to 20 which can lead me right back to my path of destruction. They seem to accept this.
Anyways, thank you so much for starting this post and for all that have answered it. I know I am late in reading it but it has made me feel better to know I'm not as weird as I feel sometimes.
