I've been tracking my calories, getting more steps in, and consciously feeling better about my body as I've been progressing since October/November. Since then, I've lost about ~25-28lbs and overall since my heaviest, I'm down about 40lbs.
Recently, I was able to finally button up a shirt I've had in my closet for a year! It was a great NSV for me and I had been feeling great! I went out with a friend in the shirt and they comment they haven't seen me in it before and I kinda tried to brush it off and say that I have and they just haven't noticed. Eventually, we went back and forth until I say that I recently started being able to wear it buttoned up and even though they asked innocently, I had to explain I was too fat to button it before. I know I'm being sensitive, but I don't know, it really made me feel awful--I thought I was finally making some visible progress, but I guess I haven't really.
I've been feeling down about it, and then recently with the same friend and someone else I felt kinda the same. It had gotten cold at night, so I let the both of them borrow my jacket. They started out alternating, but ended up both being able to fit in the jacket. I know I'm a big person and that my jacket is a bit oversized, but it just made me feel gross that two people could fit in my jacket at once. Seeing them in it, really kept making me feel weird, so I got them to stop by joking about stretching it.
Anyone have any similar experiences? I know I'm being too sensitive, but please let me know of any advice or suggestions you have to not letting these things get to your head!
