Hey all!
I have always had confidence issues related to body image and always put myself down so 13 weeks ago I decided to tackle some of the issues by dieting and working out extra hard. I was not initally overweight and was infact in decent shape and good health but I was always disgusted with myself. I wanted to be happy with myself and decided to start this journey to reach happiness. I wanted to feel like I would be good enough for me and others.
It wasnt an easy journey but I got through it and learnt some things that ill be permanently incorporating into my lifestyle to maintain my progress and even reach greater heights.
Over 13 weeks I lost 10kgs (22lbs) going from 80kg starting weight with 21% body fat, to 70kg end weight with 14 to 15% body fat. I'm also around 5 feet 9 inches tall or 176cm. I feel good and can physically see the difference when looking in the mirror and the pictures my PT took from start to now. I'm now fall in all healthy categories from BMI (not too fussed with BMI im more looking at the progress in terms of body fat %) and blood pressure/ resting heart rate.
I should be able to look in the mirror and be a lot more confident in my body and hold myself in confidence but.... this is not the case. I have been thinking of continuing a bit more longer on the weight loss path but I have also learnt we are our biggest critics. I am set in a mentality where I will criticise myself to a point where I am not confident in myself anymore and this affects how I socialise and I think shows to people around me. I could be almost model like in figure but still be unhappy. I want to learn how to work through this mentality and solve it as I want to be happy with myself. I know a therapist might help but am a bit on a budget. Anyone got any advice?
