I've now lost 35 lbs and am still losing but I don't feel better about my body now than I did 35 lbs ago. I thought weight loss would fix my issues but I still have the exact same issues. I don't hate my body or anything and would consider myself somewhat attractive but I don't think I am more attractive now than before my weightloss. My body is healthier and stronger which I'm very grateful for but yet I feel like it's never enough. I've had a long thought train about what happens when I reach my goal weight. Honestly I don't think it'll make any difference in my mental health except for the fact I would be perceived as skinny, which is something I've never really experienced as I've never been skinny in my life. In my head being skinny was the ultimate goal and I'm now realizing how stupid it is for me to make that my goal.
I'm a few pounds away from a normal bmi for the first time in years, which was the first goal I had. It feels great to reach my goals but yet I am disappointed because it didn't fix anything. I still have the same insecurities except I'm now some what healthier.
Losing weight does not always fix your mental problems.
