Weight loss is not always rainbows and butterflies. It isn’t always beautiful and perfect. Losing weight isn’t always full of positivity and happiness. There is sadness. There is pain….and there is body dysmorphia. I wear clothes like the ones pictured above - I hide my new body because I am ashamed. Why? Because when I look in the mirror I don’t see the girl above….I see the girl who was 315 lbs. and scared….alone….feeling ugly and fat and horrific. I look in the mirror and I do not see progress. I see the same thing I have always seen. I am going to be starting therapy to address these issues…but I share these thoughts with you because I want you to know you aren’t alone. When you are heavy your entire life…and you remember being weighed when you were four at preschool and you remember the number “65…..” …..and you remember the embarrassment as you kept getting bigger and bigger….and then you have this surgery and you start changing and your life starts changing and people start treating you differently…..all of this change doesn’t always translate into your head. Bad body days are okay. What isn’t okay is allowing it to continue. Stay strong. Stay positive…..just like I am trying to do. -- source link
