If you can't tell how much you've lost when lookcing in the mirror, take pictures of yourself every few months and you will be amazed at your progress! That is the only way I can see the weight I've lost. But actually for me it is the opposite, when I am being really really good I am harder on myself and more critical of my body. When I am relaxed and don't care I don't pick myself apart as much cuz I accept how I am more. Then one day it hits me that I really do want to be thinner and I get harder on myself again.
