M/18/ 5’8 Weight: 150
So I had been overweight since I was 8. After countless times of attempting to lose weight finally I did. But no one tells you about the aftermath mentally and physically. When I see my body in the mirror most days I see that 240 pound kid who just desperately wants to be liked. I see a body that doesn’t look like the rest of my friends, I just feel damaged. My skin isn’t tight, I have stretch marks in places I don’t want them. Yes, I’ve done an amazing thing by losing 80 pounds, but my body still feels broken. Even after so long I’m too self conscious to go shirtless to the pool, and I still feel like when people look at me they are judging me. Maybe I need therapy, but I didn’t think loosing weight would still have me be so unhappy. Yes, I’m grateful that I lost it early, and that I now longer will have server health problems, but aesthetically I still feel inferior. I look good in clothes, but naked no. I’m now on a quest to build muscle, but even then I don’t know if my body will ever look how I want it to. To those who are in their weight loss journey, work on your mental health. It’s so important and often gets neglected because of the want to be thin, but it’s so important to fix the things you think were because of your weight when it actuality it was about your self worth.
