Normal feels weird....
More than once in the past few weeks, I have been just walking along (in a store for example) and it suddenly hits me... no one is looking at me because I am super-morbidly obese anymore.
This should thrill me, but honestly being "normal" feels suddenly weird... off-kilter. Happened to me at Target just yesteday even.
Not sure why this would suddenly hit me like this. Does anyone else know what I mean? Or am I going off my rocker?

I am not a doctor, but I play one at work.
I know exactly what you mean. I've felt it several times. And I've had strangers comment to me about others who were obese which tells me they saw me as if I was thin.
It's really hard to wrap my head around. I know I still don't see myself as thin (size 10-12) even though others are seeing me this way. I'm hoping to get there, but I think it's going to take much more time and counseling.
Good luck!

I'm only 2 months out but down 60 lbs and every time I look in the mirror I think - Hmmmm who is that chick starting at me. hahaa
I'll look at my face and be like wow- those cheek bones, the jaw line, hmmmm Collar bones? What I have those?
To top it off I'm getting male attention even double glances.
Sooooooo - I completely understand what you are saying. haha
