I really didn't think it was an emotional problem. I always thought that was other people, not me.
I was listening to an Oprah podcast today. One of the ones with Bob Green. They were talking about people having to deal with self esteem issues while they lose weight. Bob Green said that many times people hide from this with food, they stuff down those feelings. Then when they go through the process of losing those problems become more amplified. I could totally relate to what he was saying. I'm finding myself feeling so self conscious a lot of the time. I'm sure it will get better with time, but it's taking some work in my head to get through it.
Anyone else dealing with this?
