What's happening to you is not so different from what happens to people who gain weight. A lot of people do not see it going on and even though they might get on the scale and see a number they don't see themselves at that weight at all, they see themselves thinner. What it sounds like you are saying is that you see yourself heavier than your 100 pounds. It's not uncommon, you're not alone. Is there someone you can talk to about this, a doctor, friend or significant other? You need someone close by you to be able to give you feedback on yourself so that you can see what they see. It just sounds like you need to adjust your perception of where you are at. When you lose weight quickly you can still be stuck back there at the preweight loss image of yourself...it takes your mind awhile to catch up with your body in other words.
