Head can't see it

I don't know if this is the right place or not so apologies if not.

I have gone from 17st to 9st9lb since Feb '13. I have gone from around a size 18/20 to an 8/10 but don't feel as though I am "slim".

I could fit into size 10s when I was a stone heavier and looking at other peoples weights and heights it seems weird for me to be able to do so? I am 5ft4. even though I know I'm not, I feel like I look like I am around a size 14. People have said I don't need to lose any more weight but in my head I do. Until I see 9 stones exactly on the scale I will still feel like I'm still big.

I know my eating is becoming obsessive and ive tried every diet going. I feel guilty if I miss the gym or if I have a little treat and it's getting me down :( I see other "normal" people just grabbing whatever food they fancy without a care in the world, or people at work sharing biscuits, but I literally do not dare do this.

I know in my head that it's silly of me but until I get my weight down, I feel like I have to do it. It's really an obsession. I am 5ft 4 with a healthy bmi. I think it's because I still have a flabby belly to tone up, and bingo wings! But I don't feel as nice as photos I see of people who are the same weight :(

Sorry this is a bit of a ramble but I had to get it all out as I think I'm doing my friends and families heads in! xx
 
I don't know what the answer is, but you've described exactly how I feel after losing 10 stone. I think it's very common for the head to take some time to catch up with changes in the body, but it's very weird. :) xx
 
I'm 30 pounds and 2 dress sizes down but every time I look in the mirror I can't see any change. ... People at work tell me that I've lost weight, the figures add up and all my jeans from 3 months ago now fall off me. ...I feel your pain :-( if you find the answer please let me know! !!
 
I think the main thing us to give it time. I am gradually starting to accept myself as a slim person to a certain extent, but as I have quite a lot if wobbly skin, that makes me feel bigger than I am. :) xx
