Yall, I almost cried. So I have been dealing with body dysmorphia about weight loss like I’m sure pretty much all of us here do. My husband is always saying how good I look, how much he can see the work I’ve put in, and I love him for that but I could never make myself really believe him. He’s always said things like that even when I was at my heaviest, and while I love him for that it does make it hard to consider him an unbiased review of my progress.
My in-laws are pretty much the only other people I see regularly but none of them had ever said anything about my progress, even when I brought the subject up myself. But yesterday, I took our family to a play date group we hadn’t seen in months and the first thing the organizer said when she saw me was “wow! You look amazing!”. I know in this sub it’s generally considered a faux pas to mention people’s weight loss but I was so unbelievably happy.
So today I thought to myself, I had to do it. I had to try those jean shorts. They’ve been in the back of my closet for years, I haven’t fit in them since before I got pregnant 5 years ago. I haven’t even worn bottoms since my pregnancy so that required a button or zipper, it’s all been stretchy athletic wear. It was so nerve wracking, I held them and almost couldn’t do it I was so prepared to be devastated when I wouldn’t be able to button them up. But they fit, perfectly 😭. Nothing was tight, nothing bulged out underneath. They just fit comfortably.
