Be so for real right now "Ghost fat" as a "side effect" of GLP-1's?

To be fair it was exactly the same when I lost a lot of weight when I was in my early 20s before GLP1s were a thing. It's a valid topic, but it's not like it's a negative side effect of tirz etc, it's just part of losing a large amount of weight regardless of how you achieve it.

Interesting...I don't remember going through it when I lost weight in my 20s. Maybe because it was slower so I was staying a while in each new size of clothing. On this go 'round, I just pulled out my old "skinny" clothes to wear so I didn't have the whole shopping experience to ease me into what size I am now.

So, body dysmorhpia?

For me, it's not body dysmorphia, in that I look in the mirror and see what I believe to be an accurate analysis of my size. I don't think I'm overweight anymore and I don't see an overweight person looking back at me. But when it comes to my current size and how that fits into 3-d space, I am not yet able to predict. Like when I fly, I am still surprised at the extra seat belt length.

Nothing new. Fat kids always see themselves as fat, even as slim adults.

That’s a real thing for sure! You can hit your goal and still feel like your fat irregardless to what you actually are.

I suspect I may have body dysmorphia in general, which likely plays a far larger role in how I perceive myself than my tirz use/weight loss does. I have struggled to look in the mirror at all since I was about 19.

I am very aware that people started treating me differently at around 90kg (both when I gained weight, and now I'm back down to the 70s), and things like putting the seatbelt on in the back of the car if I'm a passenger are now far easier. But I don't see the difference in myself in the pictures I have to send my prescriber every few months even though I'm down nearly 40kg.
