A photo was shared on Facebook from my dad’s wedding back in 2013. I scrolled past the photo without taking any notice of it. Except I paused and back tracked. I realized I was in that photo. I stared at it for a long time, knowing it was me but also feeling so disconnected from that person. I don’t remember ever looking like that, ever weighing that much. I’m POSITIVE my mom used to tell me, “you’re not fat!”
It’s no wonder body dysmorphia exists. I look at myself now and still think I’m “chubby” or “overweight”. I rarely ever look at myself in the mirror and think, “Wow I’m thin/average!”
I just thought I’d share. Even though that photo was taken 8 years ago, I’m still dealing with the mental component of weight loss today.
