I’m in the job market and I’m a corporate leader that needs to promote herself.
I have 70 pounds to lose.
I got here through untreated PTSD and severe depression which is now being treated and managed.
I’m also on a semaglutide which has helped my brain let go of addictive food behavior.
I’m doing so much better in life. I’m eternally grateful for modern medicine and mental health services.
However as my brain has healed it’s almost like Rip Van Winkle waking up from a long sleep and having to come to terms with a huge leap in aging.
It’s like I’ve come out of a stupor and I’m appalled at how I look.
I’m on a good trajectory and steadily and healthfully losing weight—but it’s going to be awhile before I completely course correct.
In the meantime I’m so uncomfortable with how I look—it doesn’t match with how I look in mind’s eye (from when I was in a smaller body).
I want to promote myself with confidence as I head into the job market—but I’m also still losing weight.
I’m dreading getting professional pictures done and having to look at myself and accept where I am.
I avoid looking at myself as much as possible in general.
I don’t know exactly what I’m asking for —but maybe some counsel on how you’ve psychologically dealt with this.
Any sage wisdom appreciated.
