“For months no matter how much weight I lost I still saw that fat person when I looked at myself…”

“I always had trouble loving what I saw in the mirror.   I hated being overweight and never feeling like I looked good in anything.  I did the weight loss surgery for my health but figured an added bonus was that I would like how I looked better.  Boy was I wrong.  I think I struggle more now with my body image than I did before.  For months no matter how much weight I lost I still saw that fat person when I looked at myself.  As months past I started to realize I wasnt that person anymore but instead struggles with all the extra skin I had.  Some people have it way worse than me but its still hard to look at that and love your body.  I keep trying to tell myself I did this to be healthier and I am.  My husband and kids love me so I should love me.  That is all that matters anyway.”
