Can't tell how I look...

I've lost 56 pounds since February with this... I was about 30 lbs above my "normal" adult weight when I started... So now I am about 25 pounds less than that previous "normal" for me.

Someone I know referred to the weight loss as seeming "drastic" - and I wasn't sure how to take it?

Also, I can definitely tell I lost weight - I'm a size 8 for pants now, down from my "normal" of a size 12 and high of a size 14. My measurements have gone down. Etc.

At the same time, sometimes I don't FEEL like I look THAT different?? So hearing people say like, "oh, it's been drastic" and asking if I feel ok, etc. is a little surprising and jarring... and has me wondering if how I look now is shocking or jarring to people who have known me or something.

I figured I probably wasn't the only one experiencing this. Like am I not really seeing what everyone else is?
