Be so for real right now "Ghost fat" as a "side effect" of GLP-1's?

[rokowho]

To be fair it was exactly the same when I lost a lot of weight when I was in my early 20s before GLP1s were a thing. It's a valid topic, but it's not like it's a negative side effect of tirz etc, it's just part of losing a large amount of weight regardless of how you achieve it.

Interesting...I don't remember going through it when I lost weight in my 20s. Maybe because it was slower so I was staying a while in each new size of clothing. On this go 'round, I just pulled out my old "skinny" clothes to wear so I didn't have the whole shopping experience to ease me into what size I am now.

So, body dysmorhpia?

For me, it's not body dysmorphia, in that I look in the mirror and see what I believe to be an accurate analysis of my size. I don't think I'm overweight anymore and I don't see an overweight person looking back at me. But when it comes to my current size and how that fits into 3-d space, I am not yet able to predict. Like when I fly, I am still surprised at the extra seat belt length.

Nothing new. Fat kids always see themselves as fat, even as slim adults.

That’s a real thing for sure! You can hit your goal and still feel like your fat irregardless to what you actually are.

I suspect I may have body dysmorphia in general, which likely plays a far larger role in how I perceive myself than my tirz use/weight loss does. I have struggled to look in the mirror at all since I was about 19.

I am very aware that people started treating me differently at around 90kg (both when I gained weight, and now I'm back down to the 70s), and things like putting the seatbelt on in the back of the car if I'm a passenger are now far easier. But I don't see the difference in myself in the pictures I have to send my prescriber every few months even though I'm down nearly 40kg.

There are apparently just too many websites to fill with words these days.

'Ghost fat' emerges as psychological side effect of GLP-1 weight-loss drugs https://share.google/lTKAEggOwphQasuG9

Oh my god they just let any idiot write anything. This reads like the author is so accustomed to having rocks thrown at them. By their parents.

So basically, taking Body Dysmorphia and slapping an idiotic name on it like most media and prone to do. It's right up there with "looksmaxing"
