it gets better...right?

[Mia Eck 21]

I am 7 months out of surgery and i am doing great physically but mentally its like a whole other playing field. Physically i have lost 106lbs but mentally it feels like i never lost the weight. I have confidence now and i know i can do things i couldnt do before but now i dont have the faith in myself to get them done. I am starting to have "cheat meals" which then turn into "cheat days" and so on. i have high moments too where i feel fantastic and i love my new body. I feel over the moon when i look at myself in the mirror and i can see curves and not "curves" i love that i can fit into my highschool dresses again without even struggling. It all feels great. but i have my days where the stagnate number on the scale is more important than the pant size i just lost. my surgeon told me this is normal but idk is it? i have been using myfitnesspal.com which is working and im refocusing my attention to getting more exercise but how can i get a manage on this battle with my mind?

Go into therapy. I'm not kidding. Some folks do just fine, but most of us have issues when we change our physical selves so much. I've lost nearly half my size and do not recoginize myself when I look in the mirror. I too have days where I feel normal sized and others where I still very much feel like the fat girl. I am currently seeing a psychologist to help me with these issues. I'm doing this so that I don't sabotage all the work I put in to lose the weight.

Good luck to you and please keep me posted.
