So, I've lost 115 pounds since august 2019 and I don't know how to feel.

I'm new to posting here but have been lurking for a bit. So gonna explain my weight loss then my feelings.

I started focusing on losing weight around August 2019 I was 350lbs when i cut out 99% of sugar drinks to only water. Then a month later I started focusing a lot more on the calorie intake, I started buying premade meals of around ~400 calories eating 3 a day most of the time and sometimes 4 but never over that. (I found for myself canned soups and such were very helpful having low calorie counts and my brain still thought I ate a full meal I assume from the amount of water in them). I found that distracting myself with activities that I have to put my full attention on helped a lot too like a game with friends where you have no breaks and can't leave to get food (Out of sight-out of mind and out of mind-out of mind). So now I'm down to my current weight of 235lbs with my goal at 180. I kinda wish I took pictures before I started to do progress pics but I hated my body and taking pictures.

Anyway now that I talked about how I lost the weight my general feelings now and that I'm feeling different from what others have said and talked about. I DON'T FEEL BETTER AT ALL. I still feel the same and it worries me, I see all these posts about people who lost weight feeling lighter or more attractive and stuff seeing it in the mirror and feeling better. I don't at all, I know I lost weight from the scale and my old jeans are too big now but my body doesn't feel it and I can't see it myself. Other people tell me I've lost weight but I feel the same it's like nothing has changed. To me my body has always looked the same I still feel like I haven't lost any weight. I do still need to lose more to get to my goal weight of 180 (Adult male, 6'0, 22 years old). I don't know if then I will feel better or if my head is just messed up thinking I always feel the same weight wise. Maybe I over glorified what it would be like.

How many of y'all had/have the same feelings as me? does it get better? Should I be looking at more mental help?

TLDR: lost 115 lbs still feel the same
