I (24F, 220lbs<170lbs<190lbs) have lost a lot of weight and then gained half of it back. And I’m not that mad about it. Because I’ve stopped making it a war against my body.
I’ve realized that my body is just doing it’s job, prepping me to survive and suffering from my poor choices. I stopped looking at myself in the mirror and seeing “pudge here, a roll there”, and started seeing my body as my biggest fan, my biggest support system. Seeing dieting as a team effort between my body and mind, and less as a fight between me and my fat, has really helped my mental health and has me making much more healthy options for myself. I’ve stopped starving myself and started going to the gym, seeing this as me helping my body and not as me defeating my fat. I’ve never been happier with my body image, even if I’m not happy with the state of my body right now.
I don’t know if this mindset makes sense, or will help anyone else, but if you’re like how I was, be kind to yourself and see your happiness drastically increase.
