Some background, I’m 29F, 5’7”, and recently hit the 210 lb mark, with a highest weight of 280. I’ve been slowly but steadily losing for the last 2 years. With a lot of plateaus and ups and downs.
I often feel some imposter syndrome with my weight loss. Let’s face it, I’m still “fat” even after all the weight loss. And sometimes when I look at before and after photos, I know it’s me and I’m doing well, but it also feels fake? It’s hard to describe. And with the pandemic and being largely isolated, I don’t get any feedback from friends and family either regarding if there’s a difference.
So yesterday I was having a very anxious day and went to the dispensary to stock up on some medical cannabis drops. And when I gave them my ID card, the cashier just kept looking back and forth from the card, to me, to the card, then to me, and asked for secondary identification. Once established I was indeed me, the cashier said “damn girl, you’re looking good!! If that weight loss is intentional, you’re killing it.”
I know I shouldn’t need external validation from a stranger to make me feel good, but man it felt good! And rekindled that fire in me to keep going!!
