Body image issues from weight loss?

Anyone experience body image issues from losing weight? I don’t mean obsessing about needing to be smaller or thinking that you look fat even though you’ve lost the weight and you’re actually much thinner than you think you are. I’m having some weird feelings and thoughts about my body changing /getting smaller and it makes me want to stop losing weight, even though I’m at least 70% motivated to lose weight for health/mobility reasons. Does this resonate with anyone?

I did have a period in my teens of intensely restricting my food and losing weight really quickly, and I’m thinking that these feelings I’m having (feeling a bit uneasy/weirded out about my body getting smaller) might be related to that... Or it could be that I’m feeling weird about my body changing because it’s changed soooo much and dramatically over the past several years..?

Anyway, trying to figure out how to cope/refocus myself and wondering if others have a similar experience in their own process of losing weight or have advice.

Thanks!
