I've lost 10kg, but I don't see a difference?

Question

I've lost 10 kg,

my weight was 65 kg and now it's 55 kg,( my height is 163 cm)

but when I look in the mirror I don't see any difference.

I still see the same fat girl , like nothing changed. So I am still on a diet,

but if I've lost 10 kg there should be any difference? right? Why then I'm still same fat?

It's not a physical issue but a mental one... that's a perfectly acceptable weight for your height. It may not be the body you want, but it is healthy, which won't be true if you keep trying to lose more and more weight.

When I was younger, I was overweight, and since I've slimmed down a lot, and my body shape and muscle tone has all changed dramatically. Because the changes occur slowly over time, your mind doesn't adjust to it even though it's really happening. You look at yourself in the mirror everyday, so you won't see the small changes. Just like watching a child grow up... if you see them everyday, you don't realize how tall they're getting. But if you give it some time, and allow your mind to realize exactly what's changed, you'll be surprised at how far you've come. You have to give it time though, and stop stressing and obsessing about it. Don't analyze your body for a few weeks. Obviously, you can't ignore it completely, but just try not to think about it.

the weight you've lost is being lost in many parts of your body at the same time

so its hard to notice

please don't get down on yourself judging by those numbers I'd say you aren't fat

its a dangerous attitude to have but I'm not going to lecture you just be wary

try to tone your body rather than focusing to much on just losing weight

it's normal,people rarely get over the fact that they were fat at some point,and continue to see themselves as fat. you should start exercising more,once you see abs-you know you're not fat. don't continue dieting just cause you THINK you're fat,the scale might not be always right in terms of health,but the mind is rarely more accurate.

i think you might have a milder version of body dismorphia disorder, cause you look into the mirror and see something that isn't true, you should have seen remarkable changes if you went from 65 to 55. Do people in around you see the difference?

You need to seek professional help. You sound physically healthy to me.. but your mental state is a bit alarming.

i'm in the exact same situation. i'm 157cm tall and went from 62kg to 51.5kg in about 4 months and i still see myself the same way, but i know i have body dysmorphia so it's not surprising. you might have it too, you should try talking to a therapist about it.

You have anorexia. That's why you see a fat girl in the mirror. But the scales don't lie. You are dangerously under weight.

You are not fat. You're sick. There's a difference.

Since mentally ill people would never listen to people on the internet, I can only hope you have family or someone who cares about you, to force you into treatment.

for us Americans , we have no idea what you are talking about because we use pounds and feet and inches!

MartinMarsh · Answer

are you doing any exercises, or are you just dieting to lose weight? its a lot easier to see a physical difference if you're physically active.
