Is it normal to think you're fatter than you really are

I lost 50 pounds over the last 6+ months but no matter what everytime I look down at my stomach I tell myself how fat I am, especially when sitting. Am I obsessing over my weight, does everyone look down at how fat they are sometimes, is it normal?

    Once you diet for an extended amount of time, ur brain will trick itself to obsess over weight and body image. This is common in many girls who diet. Losing weight can be addictive. I'm sure you look great! StArt trying to always think positive about yourself and your appearance

    Its totally normal. I am 5"4 and weigh 144. I am not large, but I have some chub on my tummy.. And that's enough for me to convince myself I'm just HUGE. But then I will sometimes see a photo of myself standing next to someone else and realize that I'm way tinier than I thought I was!

    You have lost 50 pounds..that is wonderful for anyone and if you need to lose more to better your health do so. This is normal with most teenage girls. Grown women may turn into more of an obsession and become more neurotic than usual. Nip this in the bud before you need to seek help. Also, if you feel you need to seek help now do so. You can control this!

    Completely normal for most! I had a friend in high school who was super skinny and she thought she was really fat! You look bigger when u look down at yourself. A mirror is a better way of doing it and before and after shots are a great indication and good on you for loosing all that weight!! Congrats and enjoy!!
