The perception of the weight loss is nothing short than fascinating and bedazzling to me.
Personally I seem to have developed a form of MDD (manic depressive disorder) since I commenced. For instance, I think nothing of looking in the mirror at work and think "Gawd do I still look like a pig! There is NO difference between now and 3 stones ago, and I've been starving for ages, what is this all for?!?!" then wash my hands, forget about it, pass by the same mirror minutes later and think "Oh wow, would you look at how sexy I am! I can't believe I am so thin after this short of time!"
This would be funny if it weren't so sad. I purposely stopped and looked at myself with the intention of making myself think either of the two and lo and behold I can. Depending on what arguments I fabricate, I will accept either of the two opposites view on what I look like for limited periods of time.
Is this normal with long term dieters? Is it getting better? Is this a form of body dysmorphia afterall?
