why is my self image so distorted?

before i was pregnant, i thought i was average sized, and thought i was big when i was just a few months. looking back (while pregnant) i was teeny tiny!

NOW i’m the same size as before and looking back at those photos i don’t feel small anymore. just average. but i remember how small i thought i looked in them when i was pregnant.

when i let my hair grow out i thought it was still pretty short. i just cut it again and looking back at pictures, omg!!! it was getting so long! why can’t i ...”see myself” correctly i guess..?

my self image is so distorted i feel like i never have any idea how i actually look.
