I was in denial over how big I looked

I knew I had big clothes, I knew I had big love handles and big everything, I knew I had a double chin. Yet somehow I deluded myself and thought sure I was overweight (try obese) but I was, you know, fine. We can't all be perfect and all that.

I knew I was fat but I was in denial over just how much.

It's so clear now but back then I'd do mental gymnastics for so many things and I wasn't even aware of it. It's not like I sat down to think about it, it was just all thede small casual thoughts in my head ("If I suck my tummy in I appear a normal weight, it's fine") that convinced me I'm not that fat.

Well now looking back I'm left quite shocked. I hear people often say the opposite but is this common as well?
