Why does it feel so surreal to me that im back in the 180's with my weight? (over the last 24 months, i've lost 145 pounds). it just doesn't feel real to me at all. about how much i weigh. im happy but it feels unreal!!

Wow, what an accomplishment! Congratulations! From what I have read over the years that is not uncommon. It takes time for mind to catch up with the changes. You often see people who have lost a significant amount of weight wear clothes that are too big for them. It isn't because they can't afford new clothes that fit they just haven't accepted they are thinner, and some are afraid of gaining the weight back, and don't want to have to buy new clothes then. So if you haven't gone clothes shopping recently, go. It will help you see the new you and be more accepting of it.

Magnificent achievement, Skunky. Yes, it will seem unreal for a while but it's a good feeling. You can be very proud to have accomplished so much. It ain't easy.
