Some mirrors can make you doubt how much you’ve changed.
The X user known as @three6gothia said that when she passed by mirrors, she still tried to convince herself she weighed more than 400 pounds, around 181 kilos. However, she explained that she had lost 218 pounds, close to 99 kilos.
Confirmation came when she decided to try on some of her favorite clothes from before. In the images she shared, she showed how the same pants that used to fit her snugly now hang considerably looser—a difference that even she found hard to process.
Her post, written with humor and surprise, highlighted an experience that can accompany major physical changes: the body can change before one’s own perception has finished adjusting to that new image.
