so i guess one thing i'm having trouble with now is that i think i am starting to see myself differently, which is good, but then i get mixed feedback from the people i know. i've lost about ~18.5 lbs since the beginning of 2011 (so from 175 to 156/7). i think maybe part of it is that i don't just see my reflection, i also feel what my perceived difference means to me. so not only do i think i look different, but i also think i look different than other people's perceptions.
