I still look fat, and I am not. (TW: dysmorphia)

[sheilarae74]

I've had issues with this my whole life. I was always the fat kid in school. I lost a lot of weight in Jr high and it's been a struggle ever since. I've probably lost and gained over 1,000 lbs in my life. Honestly, I don't think I will ever see myself as thin. I am going to just do my best not to lose too much weight, try to base everything on how I feel physically instead of how I think I look.

The week before you period hormones are low and it’s more likely to cause low self esteem and insecurity. I struggle with this basically every month and am going on progesterone.

The belly deal is real. I've lost 26lbs and still have that fat gut in the mirror. I was terribly heavy at 215, but way heavier than I had been in a long time. I wanted 175, and may reach for 170-165. I'm honestly going to guess, that belly is sit up shit. Yuck. Male, almost 67 and 6' tall. As they say, easier to put it on than take it off.
