I hope it's okay to post this here. If not, please comment better subreddits. I have a question for people who've lost weight and then gained it back. I'm having a hard time finding a happy medium between:
1) Feeling like I'm not myself now that I've gained weight, like I'm in the wrong body = using the weight gain as a motivator to lose weight again.
2) Accepting that this is who I am now, this is my current body, allowing it to just be the way it is.
None of these really make me feel happy, I keep jumping from one end to the other. I'm not even sure how to properly explain what I mean. I can't just accept my body this big, as I know it comes with health issues in the long run etc. Most of the time it's like the real me is not in sight, hasn't been seen for years, since I've gained the weight and is patiently waiting for the weight to come off so it can show up again.
I'm looking for people that feel the same/have been there before. What helped you? How do I accept myself at this point in this body while also working towards changing it?
