Hi all, basically i've lost almost 40lbs since January 2020 and i am struggling. i always knew that insecurities don't evaporate as you lose weight, but i didn't expect to be almost at 40lbs down and still feel like im as big as i was 40lbs heavier. i can feel my collarbones showing, look down and see my thighs toned, and put on tshirts that are a little wider than they used to be. however, when i look in the mirror at the "full picture", i see the same person. i know im the same, but being over the halfway point to my goal weight, i thought i'd notice much more of a difference.
these thoughts have been there during my whole journey, but i think what really ignited these thoughts recently and made them more prevalent is when i hung out with friends for the first time since Fall/Winter 2019 and no one said a word about my weight loss. im a HUGE proponent of losing weight only for yourself, but it got me thinking subconsciously that maybe even when i lose weight i dont look much different.
in addition, im still wearing clothes that i wore at 184lbs+ and they fit me better, but i always thought that i would need to purchase all new items since a big weight loss would result in smaller clothes. however, that just hasnt been the case.
thankfully i took before pics, and when comparing them i can see a difference, but not that much...idk. i feel selfish since i've lost so much and should be happy, but...im not sure.
i just wanted to post to see if anyone else can relate or have any tips/advice. it would be greatly appreciated.
