Hey guys, tonight I thought I'd do a post I've been thinking about for a while now, but wasn't sure exactly what to say, I still wasn't sure, but I decided to just go for it and hope it helps.
It's easy to think "oh if I could just lose this weight I'd be happy with my body", but the reality isn't so simple.
This is something I'm still coming to terms with. I've lost about 30 lbs. I know in reality I look much better now, but I still can't get over thinking I'm fat and picking myself apart.
And even knowing this is unfortunately normal, it still makes me feel pretty crappy.
I feel even worse because I know I shouldn't be complaining, I remember how when I weighed more I was very irritated with smaller woman complaining they were the weight I am now.
I still have that part of me that thinks I need to lose more weight but logically I know losing much more would be very unhealthy for me to do and very difficult to maintain.
I've also realized my relationship to food is still pretty bad and I need to work on it because I will want to eat a snack and feel terrible for eating it.
And this guys is all normal I think, changing your mind is way harder than changing your weight and a huge part of maintaining and helping with your weight as well as mental health.
This is something I'm still majorly struggling with but I'm working on it.
And while I'm mentioning this, I just want to share a reminder that these are not just girl issues, guys have these same thoughts and feelings about their bodies.
So just know if your dealing with this stuff whether you've lost the weight or not, you're not alone and it's all part of the journey, you just have to choose to work on your mind and try and get a better body image.
And remember, how you look shouldn't be the main thing tied to your happiness, whether you've lost weight or not you need to work on being happy throughout your journey.

Do you guys have any tips or thoughts you'd like to share? If you do this would be a great way to help each other out and support each other <3
