I am 5'4 and my highest weight was 250lbs. At this weight I always thought I would be small once I reached around 180lbs. I have friends at a similar height who weigh between 170-190 and I always thought they were small. I wished I looked like them and thought i'd be so happy and content within that weight range.
I got down to 180 and got a shocker that I wasn't thin nor happy with my weight. Now I am 145 and I am much happier but I still realise wow, I am not still thin! I feel very average at the moment. I was just reflecting on this today... how much my perception of 'thinness' has changed as my weight has. It's not just with me, even with other people. I have a very close friend who is 5'8 and 165lbs. I always thought she was so slim and would be surprised when she went on diets to try and lose weight. Now I look at her and think she is average size.
I was concerned I was becoming a little too self critical and to be honest, losing weight has definitely made me more 'aware' of my imperfections. Though the fact I am becoming happier and more satisfied as the weight continues to come off is reassuring. Anyone else had this change?
