I (F24 5’4.5”) began my weigh loss efforts at 240lbs. I have been calorie counting and walking a lot more than I did previously. Every time I stepped on the scale, little by little, pounds were coming off. About 9 months later and I’m sitting at 184! Yay! I’m just about 55lbs down. I could be more happy that I feel much healthier. I’m able to move around and I feel like over all I’m lighter. But I’m looking in the mirror and still not happy with what I’m looking at. Naturally most of my fat has deposited into my arms and as everything is shrinking my arms are pretty much still meaty. It’s very disproportional. I’m sure my arms have gotten a bit smaller but at a much slower pace than the rest of my body. I know I’m still technically obese so I’m not truly freaking out or anything YET. I have moments where I see the figure that is being shaped through this weight loss and I’m not gonna lie, I get sad. I really did think once I hit this weight (180ish) I would be feeling really confident. But instead I feel like I’m even more insecure because I’m trying so hard for what I’m seeing. I’m definitely not dumb, I understand that this weight is undoubtedly better than what I was at but just a little bummed I’m not looking like what I was expecting.
Dont get me wrong. I love my body! It is my vessel, truly and incredible thing. But right now I’m struggling to not compare my body with endless media representation on how a woman’s body is suppose to look like. I’m feeling a bit big and buff despite not having any muscle hahaha.
Anyone who has gone through a weight loss journey, when did you start feeling more confident and happy about your body?
Anyone with similar body proportions as me, when did you start seeing a slimming in your arms?
