Lost weight but still feel big?

Question

I’ve been weightlifting for more than a year now and lost about 20 lbs of fat and even tho I’m way skinnier now than I was before I still feel big and it sucks cause it ruins my confidence.. has anyone ever felt this way? It’s like no matter how much I lose I still feel big.

Answer

Tons of people, especially women, feel this way. But honestly it’s all in your head. If you continue to THINK of yourself as a big person, that’s what you’re going to SEE.

Answer

I don’t know if this is the same....when I was in my 20s, I lost 30 lbs.  I went shopping for clothes and grabbed a pair of size 5 pants (I’m short)...thinking, wouldn’t it be funny if these would fit, but fully expecting them to be WAYYYYYY too small.  They were big!
It took a while for my brain to reconcile my new size with what had been my old size for so long.
Chances are you look phenomenal.  Hopefully your brain will catch up soon.

Answer

Ive lost 60 lbs (140 lbs now) and sometimes i feel like i still look like i weigh 200 lbs. My SO says its because i look at myself everyday so i dont see myself as i really am. It sucks but i just remind myself that i am no where near how i used to look. I like to compare old pictures to new pictures to remind myself and be confident again.

Answer

I lost 10 lbs and it still feel like what you feel even though people have told me I look great.
