The fat person shadows me

Thread Starter  

I'm near target weight now. I'm in medium clothes, people make lovely comments about my weight loss, I feel better for it..

but....

I still sometimes see the fat me in the mirror. I don't want to, but I do. Why is that? Am I alone in that?

Thanks for that Jack.
I hope that at some point the shadow fades away completely.

My shadow is slowly fading - but it's still there - I know that when I want into a room of pple I don't know they see a thin person and that's how they know me now - they don't know that person who is standing in the back ground - She's there - but I am really working towards getting her out of my life for good cuz I am afaird of her and that she will take over my body again if I keep her around..
