I have a goal weight in mind. To be fair, it’s ambitious. I’m still 20 lbs away and have never been there as an adult. (I’m super short, so 20 lbs is a lot for me.) In my head, reaching goal weight will give me a level of confidence I’ve never had before. It will let me dress however I want, in clothes that never looked quite right on my body. It will open up the dating pool in ways it’s never really been open and let me be comfortable doing anything over the summer. I’ll feel more excited to go out, to be more feminine, and even to dress professionally because I’m not simply trying to work with/hide my body.
But the other part of me thinks, look, it’ll never be enough. Even when you’re this thin, you’ll want to be thinner. There will always be something that makes that confidence elusive. Grass is always greener, etc. I worry this will be the case because the additional 20 lbs may make me feel better physically, but won’t really be opening up any other big doors other than confidence. It’s vanity weight, essentially.
So what are your experiences? Did anyone lose the last 10-30 lbs of vanity weight and thank god they did? (Happy to hear stories of people who’ve lost more, too!) Do you feel like a substantially different person/carry yourself differently? Were you treated differently? I just want to feel confident that I set goals that will pay off, rather than disappoint. Would love to hear inspiring stories of how the weight loss has impacted you.
