I wouldn't look in the mirror.  That's where things are kind of flipped for me.  The way I see myself now, it's the way I always wanted to see myself.  The number of people that still don't recognize me blows my mind.    Bullshit like this, though.  And this isn't the first time I've seen it.  I reached my first goal weight, went to my high school reunion and then it hit me what I had done and I took a break.  Gained 15lbs and was miserable.  So from then on that was it.  I couldn't ever imagine being fat again. I only made it through half the book before I put it down and never went back to it.  Some guy, whining for 100s of page about being fat and losing weight.  He was over 500, dropped over 250lbs, and come to find he gained it all back.
