I think for a lot of people, this is a very common thing. Many times I look at my own thighs and I think they look a goodly size. No where near as small as a friend of mine who wears a size 10. But I wear between a 6/8 now. How can that be? Then once in a while I will catch a look at my legs in a mirror and I realize that they do look as small as her. Hmmmm, looking down, my thighs still look think from this view.

But this goes both ways, I have a sister who always see herself as thin. No matter how heavy she is. And by god she dresses that way . You always wonder when she looks in a mirror after getting dress, does she say, "dam I look good" The rest of us just want to sit a little futher away from her. I guess it is better that I see myself as heavier than thinner. Keeps my modisity intack.
