Many Worlds
I would say that I live in a couple of different worlds…the two I’ll talk about here are work and the gym. At work, where I drop into the office from time to time I hear "Every time I see you you’re skinnier." "Wow! Look at your thighs/abs/arms! Can I touch your muscle? I can really see that you’re really working out."
At the gym I also get some of that "You’re leaning out nicely." "You’re getting tight." etc. But I also get "Your skin is a little loose." and "You’re looking bloated" (those may be coming from inside my own head somewhat though).
At work they say "You’re not going to lose more weight are you?" Ummm, yes!
At they gym I hear "It will be at least a year before you get the rest of your fat off."
When I’m at work or on Facebook (my other job) people want to know what I’m doing to have made such great progress.
At they gym they want to know what I’m eating that’s getting in the way of my progress. There is some peer pressure around food there.
I guess it is really just the different perspectives on what is possible, what your supposed goals are, what you should be striving for. My mind is more on the gym side of things (negative? no, just setting ever higher standards). Maybe it is why I can’t get my head around am I still big or am I small.
When I look at pictures of me I see myself as much smaller than I have ever been before, but when I look in the mirror I see the fat on my belly and butt that I want to GO! Hmmm.

You look just fantastic and what you SHOULD be thinking is: DAMN! If this is what I look like now, just think what I will look like in a year!!!You are a going from work of art to masterpiece.
