Shewolf, I used to do that all the time i.e. feeling myself up, measuring, spending hours staring at my arms, shoulders, legs, butt because I couldn't believe I was seeing a smaller me. But I'm starting to get used to my smaller body now, so I don't do it as much.
I do have this weird thing that goes on with clothing though...I still think I'm a way bigger size than I really am. Yesterday, a friend gave me a couple skirts she had gotten too small for. They were 10s. I looked at them and thought, man, those are way too small. She insisted I take them and try them on.
So, I did. And the dang things fit. And looked good. I couldn't believe it. I don't know why I'm still thinking that I'm bigger - maybe because it's unnerving to be able to wear a 10 when I haven't in 25 years?????????????????
I sure hope I get used to this too.... I know in the past when I dieted/lost weight, part of what sabotaged me to gain back was that my mental image of myself did not match the physical one. I still felt like I was the fat chick...and pretty soon, once again, the outsides would match the insides.
