Hello there!
First things first, I'm not a native English speaker and I apologise in case my text sounds weird :(
I know a lot of people have a very similar perception disorder. They are skinny, but their head and eyes tells them they are fat and need to lose weight. In my case I've been overweight since my early teenage years and got more and more weight over the time. Right I'm 29 years old and I have 265lbs (120kg) and I'm 5' 3.8" (162cm), which results in a terrifying BMI of 45.
The strange and annoying thing is... I don't feel obese or ill. Everytime I look in the mirror, I think I don't look that bad. My head automatically thinks I'm thin. Not super skinny, just "normal". I'm thin in every single dream I ever had! And I don't feel fat when I'm with others, there are just a FEW brief moments (like today!) when I remember about my actual size. For example, when I'm not able to close my seat's belt in an airplane or when I'm not allowed to ride certain attractions in a theme park because I don't fit in their seats. It's very embarrassing. It happens as well when I look at photos of me and I'm like "Uhm... that's not me. I don't look like THAT!". However, after a few hours I forget about these things.
This makes it very difficult for me to lose weight, because my head tells me I don't need to do that. I've even started to use one of my ugliest pictures as a wallpaper, so I can remind myself of my true looks... but it doesn't work that well. I'm not sure if it would help if I start telling myself something like "You're ugly, you're fat!".
I appreciate every single suggestion how to handle this situation. A few days ago I've bought one of these meal replacements (similar to Soylent), but I'm afraid my head might tell me that I don't need that stuff and a pizza would be perfectly fine as well. Oh and I've bought Just Dance as well and hope I can outsmart my brain ("This is just a game, it's not a sport to lose weight!).
