I am a female, I have been battling weight loss for YEARS with, unfortunately, no success. I started at 178 pounds at 5’0. I have been slowly weaning off over-eating, I completely cut out alcohol back in August and stopped eating sweets for the most part.
I really wasn’t tracking anything, not weighing myself, no progress pictures, I wasn’t working out or doing anything out of the ordinary and my mom came over the other day and she goes, “wow! Have you been losing weight? You can really tell!” I was just dumbfounded because I felt the same as I always did, my husband who sees me everyday never mentioned it or anyone else I have seen recently.
That following night I dug my scale out of my closet and when I stepped on my scale, I had realized I lost 26 pounds (down to 152) since I started paying more attention to what I put in my body (august) … and just as I stepped off the scale and looked in the mirror I saw a completely different me! 20 minutes ago before weighing myself I saw the same fat body and now I see a skinnier… me?
When my husband came home I told him how much I lost and he replied with “really?!” I showed him on the scale and he goes “you know, now that you say something I can really see it now.” It scares me so much that I never noticed until after my mom said something and I can’t stop touching my legs and body and staring at myself in the mirror in disbelief!
My question is, does this happen to anyone else? Why are we so blind to the changes of our body and then become so aware of it when it’s called out by someone else? I’m sorry if this has been asked before - but I feel crazy and confused and I still can’t believe it to be true! I swear the scale is broken and my eyes playing tricks on me even though it isn’t. Someone help me understand this.
