I'm 19 years old, I have lost approximately 90 pounds, but I still see myself as the same guy as before I started for some reason. I feel like I still weigh 300+ pounds. Is this normal? Can anyone tell a difference? It's causing me to still be kinda shy and introverted.

Is there anything I can do?

you do look much much better, keep up the good work :) Maybe take up an active sport if you want to improve your self-perception of your fitness level.

You do look a lot better.

I went from 320 (i know) to 168 and felt like a million bucks. The past 6 months I'm back up to 220 (just back in the gym this month) and I've felt a lot more shy with that gain in weight...but when I was skinnier and working out every day, I was Johnny Fucking Confidence.

My advice: Have like 2 threesomes. You'll feel better.

It's a bad state of mind to think that losing weight will VASTLY change your personality or fix any mental problems.

You probably got fucked with a lot when you were really fat. People can't do that now really, but the damage from the past is still there. It's just typical mental conditioning from the abuse dickheads used to give you. I suggest seeking a therapist for a few months of sessions to sort these feelings out.

While going to therapy, focus on doing things that YOU enjoy which give YOU a feeling of great accomplishment. Sports MIGHT be it, but it's hardly fact that doing competitive physical sports is going to make everyone feel better. I really shine on the debate team at my college and it's what I enjoy doing. When I do good on a debate, I feel on top of the world in all aspects. I also get the same feeling by keeping up with my studies (if I study hard and 100% an exam, I'm on a natural high all day...if I go into the exam unprepared I feel shitty WHILE taking it and feel shitty for the next day or two as well).

Heck, for some people it might be as simple as collecting stamps. Do whatever it is that gives you a feeling of great achievement, that is what is going to make you ultimately feel successful and happy. Success, by definition, is a measure of one's happiness.

See a therapist? lolwut. I remember being made fun of until I cried everyday in elementary school. I'm kind of quiet, but I have friends and I'm pretty normal. You don't need a therapist, you need to grow up.

That's wonderful that you've lost all that weight, and you look really good. It's not bad to be an introvert, though. You've just got to push yourself a little harder to be social. I would suggest joining a sport (like someone else mentioned). I'm doing swimming right now, and not only do I feel better, I look better, I'm being much more social and making a ton of new friends, and I feel so much better about myself.

tl;dr, join a team sport. You'll feel better about yourself.

Yeah, let's self-diagnose ourselves!

You've probably a metric fuckton of repressed issues festering in your little brain. Denial is the stage one, remember that.
