Hello Ladies!
I've posted on here a few times, but I'm realizing I need more support if I'm going to reach my weight loss goals.
So here's my story I guess. I used to be 235 (105 kg) and have slowly gotten myself down to about 172 lbs (78 kg). I haven't lost any more weight this month, but I think if I get myself disciplined I can get myself down to 150ish by the end of New Years.
I would like to lose another 10 kg, but it's been a struggle for the last month. Partly because I've been busy and partly because I've been too lazy. I'm okay at this size, but I would like to lose another 20 or so lbs just to give me some wiggle room.
The biggest obstacle for me is developing a pretty serious case of body dysmorphic disorder. I'm an English teacher in Japan and that has some unpleasant consequences. Between being around women who are naturally 100 lbs and the constant comments on my body I've gotten progressively more and more insecure. Although I lost a bunch of weight, I don't think I look any better. What I struggle the most with is all the loose skin on my lower tummy. I would love to get a tummy tuck, but I don't think I will ever have that kind of money.
A picture with some of my adorable students is attached!
