Confused about body image
Hello all,
I am reaching out on 3fc because I am honestly confused. I feel like I have no idea what my body looks like. I was always very thin growing up. People would comment on my body all the time and I was very confident about the way I looked (from the neck down, anyway). I am 5'4" and until I was in my early twenties I weighted 105 lbs. Today I weight 134, and I am very confused. I look in the mirror and I see my regular thin self, however the compliments have COMPLETELY stopped. Occasionally I get comments the other way, like "oh, how did you lose so much weight so fast!" when I got a more flattering pair of jeans. In photos, I am shocked by the way I look. I am honestly totally befuddled. I am working out 2 hours a day on average and running triathlons to try to recapture the me that I see in the mirror. Am I crazy? Has anyone else experienced this?
