"Do you ever look in the mirror or at a photo and think that isn’t you? That the image you have of yourself is different to what you see? Is that even normal?"
Yip.
I see myself about 3 stone heavier in photos.  |

Yes very often! It's something I struggle massively with as I have no idea what I actually look like. I have body dysmorphia so it plays on my mind in a very nasty way. |

Yep, sometimes. In my head I'm still a size 30 so I have to do the mental readjustment when I see photos of myself and think ah, maybe I'm not that size any more. Even when I attended a recent event I was surprised and happy when I saw myself in the mirror.
I'm getting better at seeing myself for who I am physically. |

"I look at photos and in the mirror and I look smaller than what I see myself. It’s really messing with head, what do I actually look like?!"
It's a proper struggle OP, I can't offer any advice except if you look better in photos use those rather than a mirror, when getting ready to go out etc |

When I get my arse in gear and loose weight I find myself being surprised by the change but once your eyes catch up you feel white again. I have been white haired for some years but it is pure white now and that scares me when I look in a mirror |

I've stopped looking in the mirror for too long, it causes me to pick at things that don't need picking at. I know that I will never see myself as others see me. When I look at my photos I see a confident person but in reality that's just not me. |
