It's good to do it a little at a time like that, as opposed to doing it really quickly. Some people want to lose like 10kg in a couple of weeks, but doing it to the extreme isn't good for your body, and doing it gradually also gives your mind more time to adjust to looking different. It took me a while to adjust to how I looked when I lost weight, for ages I was like "Is that really me" when I seen photos.
I can co-sign this.
When I lost my 90 pounds...it took a long time for my mind to get used to it.
Now looking back at pictures before the weight loss, it's jarring to me and hard to believe that was me. It's kinda like it's "someone else" now...it's that far removed, it's weird to experience. Even people close to me remark on that in a similar fashion, it's like two totally different people. It's taken so many years off my appearance to, which is surprising as well.
Other people have a massive jolt when seeing me if they haven't seen me in years too, which is funny to see!
How long did it took for your mind to got used to it?
It was kinda funny last time around thinking i wouldn't get passed through a short amount of space only to try it anyway and go: "oh yeah i completely forgot,I lost fat" in 2019 back when i was 130kg
Truth be told...at times I still have trouble getting used to it, a few years later. Likely since the change has been so extreme. Going through clothes has been crazy too, something people forget about. Fitting into stuff from high school is amusing at times though, haha.
