I (mid weight loss journey, 35+ lbs down) did a photoshoot with my fit best friend and feel worse than ever
She and the photographer hyped me up so much, but seeing my best friend look so fit and amazing and then pick herself apart made me feel like a whale. I’ve lost quite a bit of weight and most people wouldn’t guess I weigh as much as I do. I know I am much harder on myself than I need to be. But I can’t stop feeling depressed about how I wanted to be skinnier by this shoot and how I didn’t meet my goals. I even booked it a year out and still failed to do it.
A lot of the problem is also things I can’t control- like I have a bit of loose skin, and she was picking at parts of her body that look actually perfect, whereas those same ones have been destroyed on me by loose skin.
I don’t know, I just came away from the whole experience feeling discouraged and incredibly depressed about how I look. I’ve been hyped up countless times this weekend but I feel like I’m back to square one confidence wise. Does anyone have tips? My body dysmorphia is eating me alive and I’m slipping into depression from it.
