Sometimes I struggle with realising how much I have lost. I look in the mirror and see the same person I saw 12 months ago - 30kg heavier than I am now! I look at the sizes on my clothes - mostly 12s, some 14s and the occasional (generous fit) 10, but I somehow think they are wrong.
Then I have days where I feel fantastic. I feel fit and healthy, and am very proud of what I have done. I still have a bit to go, but I have complete confidence that I will do it.
Do the 'fat person' feelings ever go away?

I don't think they do for a while. I still see 140kg in the mirror sometimes, despite protestations from the Boyfriend and Darren the PT.
You'll always have days of thinking "I'm fat" and days of thinking "gee, I look fab today!", but I think the latter should definitely outweigh the former for you. You look gorgeous, and have done so well!
But it's how you react to the "fat feelings" that counts - as long as you don't go "gee I'm feeling fat" and then eat a cheesecake, you'll be fine. :)
I agree with Katie... I still struggle on days and feel fat... and I am actually quite small... it is a psychological thing though... I pick up size 8's in the stores and wonder if I am kidding myself and am surprised when they fit... I guess it comes with time... I mean, dont get me wrong, there are days when I feel bloody terrific... and those days are becoming more and more frequent as time goes on....
You'll get there hun!! You look amazing and have come sooooo far!

Me three - I did my hair in a french braid today and got out a hand mirror to see that it looked OK from the back and didn't recognise myself from the back. I started losing weight in Jan 2005 and have been roughly this weight since July 05 and I still feel fat. Makes it kind of hard to be happy with where I am right now but I would rather be this kind of miserable than actually be fat again [if that makes any sense!].
I think it is healthy to have body consciousness. We just need to keep on re-writing the script that plays in our heads!

Interesting - I feel the same way and seeing Katie's comment on how you react to the fat feelings is a big one. I react badly still and need to get my head together on that.
Em - you're doing SO well and your pix show an amazing transformation. Keep it up because you are doing brilliantly. Oh and congrats on the new job and moving house. What a change for you!! Hope your'e enjoying it.. :-)
