I'm the same way...I can look down and see the stomach isn't huge but look in a mirror and that's all I see. They say a picture adds 10 lbs and I try to believe that but to me it adds 100 lbs. I do work out...sometimes I feel good about it, sometimes I get frustrated because of the mirror. I've not eaten properly for ages because of it, but every mouthful I have to tell myself, will be gone the next day. Still, I haven't had a 'meal' in years.
Meryl Streep had the best line in a movie (can't remember the name)...when an ex wanted her to take off her bathrobe so he could see her nake. She said no and "somethings are better seen lying down." or something like that. So true, but sometimes that doesn't help either, when you're so sure your a-big-fat-cow..my mantra.
And of course NO ONE sympathizes because I'm 5'5" and weigh aprox 125-130 lbs. That is NOT what I look like!!!
