Am I delusional? Or reverse body image?

I've recently just lost 3 stone (no congrats required, put on 4 stone when pregnant with DS2 who is now 6 months) I have another stone to lose to get to the weight I was before having DS1 (never quite made it after first pregnancy but lost about 2 stone but put less on in first place) amazingly I think I look thinner than I ever have! I've always has poor body image but my ankles look thinner, my thighs look slimmer, my face looks better - much more so than when I lost after DS 1! Is it possible to lose weight from different places after different pregnancies or is it just because I put on soooo much weight I look better to myself.
For background I never used to look thinner to myself when I lost weight, other people just looked bigger Confused. I need to know if it's just in my head!!!

It may be because of how much weight you gained. I gained a lot (more than you) during pregnancy and thought I was quite slim about 6 months post partum. But the real test was - did I fit comfortably in my old clothes. Nope, I certainly didn't! Try on your old clothes. Oh! But if you feel good, that's great!

If you feel good, don’t second-guess it! Just enjoy!

Are you more active now? Maybe you’re a bit more toned?
