I am not so sure what woke me up. I recieved a diagnosis of PCOS, and was told that if I lost weight, there was a list of things that I would benefit. I had always "tried" to lose weight. But never gave it a full shot. I never was doing it for and my body---more to appease others. I started last Thanksgiving. And am down a good amount, and can't wait for more. I really want to keep getting more and more fit. I love how much better I feel, how more healthy my body feels.
However, psychologically things are not getting prettier. Recently, I have been having alot of self acceptance, body image problems. I have a hard time thinking of my body at the end of this weight loss and ever being able to accept it as not fat. I think about the loose skin, stretch marks, saggy boobs. Too much thinking--I believe is the problem. I obsess over what I eat sometimes to the point that I catch myself. Or when I have something bad, or binge. I beat myself up pretty badly.
Its vey difficult. And its interesting how much of it is all in our heads. And nobody sees what we, or I struggle so hard with.
Hope everybody had great days.
Why think of saggy boobs and stretch marks? Think of loving your body no matter what. Now and then! Have you ever heard of Dove's Love Your Body Campaign? Google it, just reading about it helped me tremendously.
Hope to see you around!
