Lessons on accepting your body after weight loss

M/18/5’8 SW:230 CW: 159 GW: 140

Hey everyone. So I’m glade to say I only have 19 more pounds to lose before I switch over to building muscle. It’s been a really long journey, and it’s not over yet but things are coming to a close. I’m extremely proud of the steps I’ve taken to change my body and am glade I no longer have to fear being or becoming overweight. I know now the steps and actions I have to take to never go back. With that said, my body looks a lot different than I thought it would. I don’t have loose skin( most due to the fact I still have some fat left) but I can tell that even if I don’t get hanging skin it won’t be tight. I know that that’s just one of the consequences of being overweight for so long.

I know I’m young and maybe hopefully my skin will retract, but I’ve also been overweight through childhood and adolescence, so I don’t really know. I am working on my mental health as I realized that even after 70 pounds I’m still not happy with my body which I now know if a self esteem issue rather than a weight issue. My thing is when I started this journey it was for vanity and still it kind of is. I want to look good, like the guys I see on TikTok and Instagram, but I also realized that most of those guys had a different journey( most of not all were skinny and then became built at least the ones I model myself after). I wanted some tips on dealing with the aftermath of weight loss and the realization that my body just isn’t the same, and that I’m not ugly just different?
