I’ve lost over 140 lbs, and I am fairly certain I have developed some dysphoria issues.
I went from a size 28 to size 10/12.
I still have some weight to lose but basically... I don’t understand what I look like. It’s not vanity it’s just... I don’t know, a confusion I guess.
I look in the mirror and think I still look very large. I sometimes see a reflection and think oh she’s nice looking but once I realize it’s ME it’s... difficult.
I often try to ask my boyfriend or people I’m with if I’m the size of xyz person that I see - not to fish for compliments but because I’m trying to gauge where I’m at and how much I have to go, but it doesn’t come across that way I’m sure.
When I shop, I look at clothes and choose the size that I think will fit but most times, it’s to big and I get surprised when I try it on once I’m home.
Is anyone else dealing with this and if so, how are you combating it?
Sometimes I feel so frustrated that I end up like I wish I hadn’t lost the weight.
