[quote=Anonymous]You are fat but fat doesn't immediately equate to unattractive or not looking good. I am 5'6" and was 190. I could convince myself at times that I wasn't that fat. I hadind of lost perspective on what fat / not fat looked like. In the mirror, I didn't see fat but in pictures, I saw it all, I felt enormous and way out of proportion to how I actually saw myself. For example, I would think I was the same size as 'Sue' but then in a picture beside Sue, I would look so much bigger and it wouldn't really make sense to me. Now I am 165 pounds and interestingly my perceptions of myself is more accurate. I am still fat but I can see the fat in the mirror and it is pretty similar to what I expect to see in a picture. in some ways I feel fatter than I felt at 190 because I have a less skewed perspective. But at the same time, clothes fit better and I know I am not as fat as I was. Our minds are powerful tools. They can convince you of all kinds of things. [/quote]
