I am struggling with feeling worthy.
How do you cope with shame around your body? Lately, I’ve been stress eating and have been lazy to cook, which resulted in gaining some weight. I am approximately 45 lbs/20 kg overweight ( just for the reference my BMI is 29), which is not too much to lose, but I can’t gain confidence to deal with it now, more like - to face it. I feel so ashamed that I am considered a fat person and feel the need to hide myself from people, wear baggy clothes, slouch, etc.
I grew up believing I was fat (around 5 pounds overweight as a 10 year old kid - crazy, right?!), which made me obsessing over weight and trying diets ever since.
Now, I am at my highest weight and, even though I know I’ll be back on track soon, I can’t help but notice that some people judge me (the ones that know me from before and never seen me like this, even though I’ve been chubby for a long period of my life (BMI 25) ), which makes me ashamed of myself. I have never had this super confidence, but I am a mentally strong person, still, the way I look now makes me so insecure…
Has anyone been through the same? How do you deal with shame around your body?
