I feel great right now for the most part. My legs, arms, and bumper are coming back to how they should look. I lost the hairyness that was all over my body. I can do so much more and remember things, and I can focous on so much more. But why do i feel that i have getting bigger in my stomach area? Like in some mirrors i see a healthy stomoach but in the mirrors at home i see myself in a bigger form. Like I understand that I am not thats size but why do I keep seekig that? Body image all of a sudden has become very hard for me again. Does anyone have any tips? I have made it a goal each week to check my body one time a day or not at all. Sometimes it works but then sometimes i catch myself. Last night i stood in the mirror and told myself that I am beautiful and look great and that I love myself. Some of it I believed and then i kind of didn't. I guess I am just getting sick of this constatent fight in my head and just wish i could look in the mirrow and believe that I am beautiful and I am healthy from head to toe and lift to right.
Hi....congrats on the successful changes you are making!! The body image issues are often the hardest to put behind you, and with our society focus on weight, etc., it makes it even harder. Maybe you can try writing about the attributes about yourself that have nothing to do with your weight or shape, and try to remember that there are many more wonderful things about you than what you look lke, or what you weigh! Take a deep breath and keep going....you will beat this!! Take care...Jan ♥
