Anyone else still not adjusted to their weight loss?

I was always the super skinny thin girl without much effort. Long story short, I was in a toxic relationship and gained 25% of my body weight in a year. I left the relationship and did CICO and weight lifting and got back down to within 5 lb of my old weight. I am 5’3” and 120 lb now.

It’s been a couple years since I lost the weight but I still have a warped perception of my own size. It started after I lost most of the weight. I’ll see people who are obese and I will think we look similar. Or I’ll see someone who is my height and is my weight (progress pics subreddit) and I’ll be confused because I think I’m so much bigger.

Clothing shopping is weird now. I used to love it. Now I have a hard time telling what fits properly or what styles I should go for. I sent my friend links of swimsuits I am considering and she told me the styles were very “dumpy” and even she wouldn’t wear them (she’s obese and recently gave birth).

Any tips or things I can do to get more normal about my weight loss? I understand it can take time to adjust but it’s been years... and I started out mostly thin to begin with.
