This video is a funny spin on a very real psychological concept known as Change Blindness. This is one of the many factors involved in how we ignore signals in our environment. So what does this have to do with the internal bully? Everything, if you believe things about yourself that are not supported by observable facts.
This is relevant in even significant changes in the body. Many obese persons will attest to seeing themselves in the mirror as obese, even upon obtaining a goal weight. We may see ourselves in a negative manner, but become blind to the fact that we are not really as bad as we think. When change occurs psychologically, many people do not "feel" any better, but are blinded to the change they have accomplished. This may be contradicted by observations from others and psychological exams.
