40F. 5'4". Starting weight 228. Current weight 188. First time ever trying to lose weight, been at it for about 4 months. Turned 40 last month, which initially hit me hard, but actually came and went pretty smoothly. That was the trigger for starting weight loss.
I think the weight loss is definitely apparent in my face. Also dropped one to two sizes in clothes, but still wearing old clothes... So not easy to see. Working from home also means no one sees me - no one knows that I'm losing weight.
At first, I thought my face looked good. Overall felt good about the process - it's been easier than I'd ever imagined (stuck at home with low stress job helps). I bought a new jacket for the winter - 2 sizes down.
But today I was trying on some new glasses and my face just looked really old. Haggard almost. I feel like my face turned 40 completely overnight. Maybe I'm just tired and it's showing. Maybe it's the fact that I was trying on reading glasses and I've never worn glasses, so it was one more sign of getting older (but I really don't feel bothered by getting my first glasses, just a fact of life and will help reduce eye strain).
But for the first time, I'm not sure I'm going to like my body on the other side of this whole thing. And I've never been uncomfortable in my skin or self conscious about my weight. And yer I know I'll feel better, healthier, stronger - I already do.
