At the start of the year I had a lot going on in life and was about ~150lbs. I just weighed myself yesterday and have brought it down to 128.
I lost it in a healthy way - hit the gym 4 times a week and ate super clean (i.e lean meat, veggies and fruits, naked salads, nothing from a bag of bottle).
I won’t deny it; in the beginning I wanted to be more fit to look prettier. My aunts and uncles would always say that I would be so pretty if I just lost those last few pounds. I felt gross in my body and wanted to wear nice, tight clothing. I felt like I couldn’t do that without being skinnier.
When I finally hit my goal of 130 I felt so happy. Like my family would be proud of me and that I was finally looking good.
When I showed off to my aunt, telling her that not only had I lost fat, but I gained muscle, she just poked my arm and said ‘you can stand to lose a bit more’.
It pretty much crushed me.
About a week ago I was at work when my coworker stopped me in the bathroom. She asked if I had lost weight and I excitedly said yes. She then said I would have to buy an entire new wardrobe because my clothes looked loose. Another one of my coworkers warned me that I looked ‘too skinny’ now.
I just feel so sad and now upset with myself. I feel like I should be happy that I did this for myself to be healthy and feel better, but everyone around me is saying that I’m still not good enough.
How do I lose the weight for myself and not everyone else?
