It's funny that you don't realize how badly you feel about yourself/weight/health until you realize how great you feel when you're taking care of yourself and making progress towards your goal.
I wouldn't have said that I really had a poor body image before...and maybe I didn't...but since I feel a marked difference now, I had to have not felt that great about myself before...and duh, I guess it's obvious...because if I had, I wouldn't be here today, right?
Anyway, it's kind of funny to feel this way on a day when I am recording only a .6 lb loss. FS said it would take me 32 months if I continue on this way (I always love to see that each week) and although I would obviously prefer to do this in at least half that time, today I'm feeling like if it takes me 32 months, so be it...I feel better already and I never want to feel as unhealthy as I was before.
Things are good. :)

.6 is a lot, and according to your chart, you've been losing really steadily! Congratulations!

A lot of us have had a photograph that shocked us about how we really looked when we were heavier. I was certainly in denial. Denial about what I was eating, denial about how heavy I was. Buying size 24 pants should have told me something, but it was just easier to ignore. Even doctors telling me I was severely overweight- didn't sink in. I really didn't realize how unhappy I had been with myself until I'd lost about 50 pounds. I think it just creeps up on you. You forget what it's like to be happy with your body, or maybe you never were. I always felt very disconnected from my body. I cared a lot more about my intellect and creativity and not much about physical health. It's much better now that I realize all those things go together :)
