I’ve lost 40 pounds, but I feel and look the same as I did at my heaviest.

(F/ 5’9”/ SW: 293/ CW: 253) I was at least 293 lbs. at my heaviest, possibly more. When I realized I was that heavy, I hurriedly started CICO and lost about 20 lbs. over 4 months. The other 20 have come off very rapidly, over about a month and a half, since I started a new med that killed my appetite. I am THRILLED about the change in the numbers on the scale.

My problem is that the only difference I’m noticing physically is that the fat is disappearing from patchy areas on my lower abdomen— it looks awful. Other than that, I feel just as heavy and I think I look just as heavy as I always have. I don’t feel more energetic, or lighter on my feet, or more attractive than I did.

Is this normal? I know I shouldn’t compare myself to other people on their own weight loss journeys, but I see people with 30-ish pound losses that look night and day different on their progress pictures. Will I ever see a difference in myself? Has this happened to anyone else?
