s/o being fat...I have a distorted body image issue

This is actually a funny story....

I love Keeping up with the Kardashians, especially Khloe.  For some reason I feel like she and I have similar traits,attitude , quick wit and  body composition( or so I thought!).  One night over a couple of cocktails, I asked my girlfriends what size they thought Khole was.  They thought probably an 8 or 10, I thought she had to be at least a 10 and probably a 12.  They insisted that she was smaller than that and laughed their a$$es off that I thought I was in the same vacinity as her in terms of dress size. I guess my body image is pretty distorted, in my head I think I look like my pre-pregnancy self, I DO NOT. Right now I am probably a 16 and can squish into a 14 with MAJOR muffin top. 

SOOO, i guess I don't look like Khole but I am still just as sassy. 

So I guess I will have to find a new celebrity to compare myself to...

hmmmm...how about Heidi  Klum...Wink

    It's called reverse anorexia.  I have that same problem.  I look in the mirror and think that I look good, but I really don't.

    It's kind of like how you have no idea you've put some pounds on until you see yourself in a picture.

    I hear ya!  i have always thought i looked great pre-pregnancy (even though i did gain a bit of weight after my wedding) and due to diabetes i lost a lot of weight during my pregnancy and after i gave birth i went through some of the pictures and could not believe i actually thought i was skinny!  I'm back to my "heavier" weight and still think i'm skinny but this time i take a picture of myself and then i can actually see that i am fooling myself.

    --i'm pretty sure all of my mirrors at home are totally trick-mirrors. 

    I always though you think you are bigger than you really are, not the other way around.
