I have had the same problem. I have lost a lot of weight but frankly I still see the same person in the mirror that I always have. I think that is why it feels so good when someone that hasn't seen you in a while notices the difference.

Two things really helped me to "see" the difference.

#1 Before and after pictures. There is no refuting the difference there. Even I have to admit I look thinner.

#2 I saw myself on video tape. I always dreaded being videotaped for the obvious reason. I was taped recently delivering a presentation and when I viewed it it was pretty eye opening.

It will take time adjusting to the "new" me but it is a good problem to have!
