Hey Loseit.
I started my journey a couple years ago at 230lbs. I just weighed in at 177. I'm about 5'11. My original goal weight was 180. Yet I look in the mirror and still see fat.
As I lost weight and hit different tiers during my weight loss journey, I always start off thinking "oh i look skinny now" and then very quickly get back to "nah, I'm still fat. just 10 more pounds." This happened at 215, 200,190, 180, and still at 177 pounds. My view of my self "normalizes" back to "I'm fat."
I did 4 electric body-fat tests at the gym over a couple months, and I'm around 13-15% body fat now. I know logically that I'm not fat anymore. I have the data.
I do compare myself to fitness professionals. I use insanity to train 5 days a week. I don't see that ripped 6 pack that other people have, and have started obsessing over it.
This weekend in order to "shed a little extra", I skipped eating a couple meals. I never used to do this, but now it's become more and more a habit during quarantine now that I eat alone more often. Has my obsession with weight loss started turning into a disorder? Or do I just keep moving the goal posts, and that's fine? I dunno.. Curious to see other people and how they've adjusted mentally to weight loss.
Thanks everyone!
