I (25f) became over weight around 20. My whole life I had been very athletic and quite attractive. I played sports, I competed in pageants, I had a lot of confidence. I even look back on those pictures and see a beautiful person.
I have been struggling with my weight and self confidence for a long time now. I’m currently not at my heaviest, but I weigh in at around 200 lbs and I’m only 5’3. Even after I had my son, I only weighed 170.
I’m afraid that even as I begin to lose weight, I won’t feel beautiful again. I always tell people I’ve never seen my true ‘adult’ face, since I’ve been very overweight for almost all of my adult life. I know that I need to lose weight for reasons other than vanity, I just hope that I’m not incredibly disappointed when I get where I’m going, if that makes sense. Any tips to work on my self confidence while on the journey? I’ve spent so long equating happiness with being thin, I don’t know how to love myself.
