  1. Really struggling with self-image and looking at my body objectively today. You'd think that trying on the last of my "skinny" clothes that I'd packed away, only to find that a lot of them are too big, would make me feel good. It did not. I still feel fat, my waist is still thick, I'm still not pretty, and now all the clothes I liked but couldn't fit into are still unwearable.

      If I've said it once, I've said it a hundred times. After losing almost 100 lbs., I hated what I saw in the mirror. I saw an old and wrinkled lady...who was also losing her hair. I went to therapy to help me see what everyone else sees. I'm still not there yet..but alot closer than I was two years ago. If you cannot get out of this mindset, please consider seeing a professional. This is body dysmorphia..and it's a real thing.
