Is this body dysmorphia?

I have no idea what I look like, I can look in the mirror and see myself just fine but I have no idea what I look like to other people. I constantly obsess with looking at myself from every angle of the mirror just to see what other people are seeing. Some days I feel like I’m skinny other days I’m constantly comparing myself to other women on the street, asking my bf “am I as big as her?” Or “am I small like her?” Of course nobody gives me a straight answer in fear of offending me.

I am the exact same way. I was diagnosed with dysmorphia in 2014. I don't always recognize myself in photos, and I have no concept of my actual size in comparison to others. I'm always asking my fiance, "Am I her size?" when I see an obese woman on tv.
