Right now I’m 15 year old girl, 5’2, 180 pounds. I have struggled with binge eating for most of my life but I’m struggling most with it now. I am on a program to lose the weight but even thinking about how awful I will look at the end makes me feel sick. I know I’ll never look pretty without skin removal surgery and I can’t afford that.
My goal weight is 120 pounds so I know I will have a lot of loose skin. I almost would rather stay at this weight than look like what I will. How did you guys get over this fear? I have been drinking lots of water and am thinking of taking Omega-3 and Vitamin C supplements because that is supposed to help.
Knowing that as a direct result of my actions I will never look beautiful is affecting my mental health. It makes me feel like I am a worthless human being who has ruined my life, and I can’t seem to shake the thought that death would be better than looking like I will with the amounts of skin I will have.
I’ve never had to deal with anything that will affect my life forever in a way like this, everything I’ve ever done could be fixed if I really messed it up (classes can be retaken, you can try again in sports) but this is the first thing that will affect my life forever. What have you done to get over feelings like this?
