Losing weight feels weird

I think I finally found the right sub to talk about this in...

I'm 27F that grew up in the south (USA). Over a year ago I moved across the country away from everyone I know except my husband. So I didn't set out to lose weight in particular... I mean aren't we always "trying" to lose weight tho? The point is my eating/social/exercise/everything habits changed.

We eat more organic and more meat free and I walk to work everyday (2 miles) and I try to do yoga for my back when I remember. But no calorie counting or that stuff.

I weighed 250+ when we moved and I've lost 60+ pounds so far.

The point of all this is that I feel like ... I'm not even in my own body anymore. My legs and arms feel like they're gangly and out of control. When I shower and soap my stomach or butt or boobs or shave my legs I feel... "That's not mine... That's not how my body feels"

And I know I should be happy and I kind of am, but I still have this disconnected feeling from my body now. When I try on clothes I look at myself and I'm confused... And it is a good thing because I can make bolder clothing choices that I never would have felt comfortable in (I just bought a 70s jumpsuit).

What I'm looking for is confirmation that I'll someday feel like I'm in my own skin again.
