Accepting my body 19 days post Mastectomy. I felt good enough today to put on shorts (vs leggings) even though I’ve lost all of my muscle in my legs (see loose AF skin), as well as my stomach. I already have BDD so seeing my body change so drastically and quickly is hard - but I’m pushing forward. The swelling is still going down as the scale smacked me in the face today with over a pound of weight loss Eating disordered brained me would be ecstatic, rational me is scared. My appetite hasn’t been the best but I still force myself to eat all of the protein because I want to heal faster I’m hoping in 3 more weeks I’ll be cleared and able to start lifting as I miss my muscles (pretty sure that lifting will start with physical therapy to get my range of motion in my arms back), especially my upper body strength. I picked up a cold/infection from one of my many doctors visits so on top of recovering from my Mastectomy I’ve been sick. I’m still remaining positive though, life on this side is beautiful #mastectomy #breastcancer #survivor #breastcancerawareness #mentalhealth #realrecovery #edwarrior #ednos #anxiety #fightlikeagirl https://www.instagram.com/p/BmOyL_kFXUz/?utm_source=ig_tumblr_share&igshid=10f7mkjqgs5e4 -- source link
