At school I was a bit podgy (in spite of doing ridculous amounts of sport). From the age of about 9 until early teens I was fat - although it's hard to be objective about just how fat I was, as in my head I was really huge!
I'm 5 foot 6, and for years I've been a size 12 (although I was a size 14 for several years). Over the last year or so I've had a huge amount of stress and lost weight; I now weigh 9 stone, my BMI is 20, and my size 10 clothes fall off me (I can't bring myself to buy size 8 because it sounds so small - and I'm really not!) So on paper it sounds like I'm not really fat - but my whole life I've seen myself as fat and can't shake that off.
Has anyone here lost weight and re-adjusted their mental image to be a 'normal-size' rather than 'fat' person? I still see myself as fat and needing to loose weight....
