It's Purely Psychological

Well...it seems it was too good to last as stagnation has once again set in and the scale refuses to move.
That's OK, however, because I know I am doing all of the right things, making all of the right decisions, and eating mostly all of the right foods. Just the same, I want to see movement on the scale because I believe from a psychological standpoint that seeing numbers move is much easier to track than putting on a pair of once tight-fitting jeans that now slip on with great ease.
The only thing I find I am asking myself is how much smaller can I expect to get? I am 6' 1" with a broad frame. As previously stated, I have moved from a 44 waist down to a 34 waist. I don't know if it is reasonable to expect myself to eventually fit into a 32 or even a 30 waist, or would I at some point look emaciated?
These are all questions I find I ask myself on a fairly routine basis. Couple with that the idea that I hear these types of comments from friends and family and I can't help but wonder if there is some truth behind the words.
Personally speaking, my ultimate goal weight is a lean and mean 185 pounds. But as previously stated, would someone of my stature look fit or just thin? I can discern the difference, and while I would like it to be a combination of both, it would behoove me to drop that low and feel as terrible as I look.
But like i said, I believe it is all purely psychological in nature.
