In 2019 I lost nearly 90lbs going from almost 300lbs to almost 200lbs. Something that I didn't anticipate is how much losing weight would improve my mental health. This week I put up a full body mirror because I actually have the confidence to face my issues head on, whereas in 2018 I was avoiding mirrors at all costs.
If there's one thing I know for sure I want in life it's love. I definitely fit the classic romantic sterotype, I love all those cute cliches. I'm a very social person, I'm good at making friends, I'm good at conversations, I *think* I'm good at flirting and I believe I'm stable, mature and kind enough to be in serious relationships. I know that I want to date, and try to find someone to share my life with.
However, everytime I even consider trying I give up immediately. I CANNOT get over my body issues. I just am so put off my fat rolls, man boobs, lumps and bumps. I'm not even worried that others won't accept me, I **know** they will, the problem is I can't accept myself. I keep telling myself that by summer of this year I should have lost all the weight and maybe then I can try again but I just hate this feeling of putting something I want on hold - what if I don't get over it fully or what if my body doesn't change in the way I want it to?
Does anyone else have experience with this?
