Default Another strange thing...

I've noticed lately another strange thing having to do with looking in mirrors.

For the first few months on the WOE, I was looking at myself in the mirror and thinking how much better I looked. For whatever reason, the past few weeks I've been looking in the mirror, and all I'm seeing is how much farther I have to go. I have really been "feeling fat" even though I'm significantly lighter than when I started this WOL. I don't know what mental switch has been flipped, but it is really weird. It is almost as if I have gone back to the way that I viewed myself years ago, when I had first started to gain weight. I know that I have done really well so far, even though it has been very slow going lately (I think my body is treating these last 20 pounds like the last 10! )

Anyway, it is just very frustrating. Has anyone else had this experience?
