Im My Own Worst Enemy

Ok so everyone knows how low self esteem gets the best of you. Im down 64 pounds since july 12th. Very proud of that, but I thought id start liking myself physically and its just the opposite, all I see now is all my loose skin and flaws. Wish I could just wake up one day and say dang that woman I see is gorgeous, instead of seeing the crypt keeper when I look in the mirror. Big sigh.

Cheer up... It could always be worse. Have you started doing any resistance training?

hormone changes don't help either but, always remind yourself how far you have come! 64 pounds is amazing!

You ARE gorgeous! If you are cleared for working out hit some weights. And make sure you stay hydrated and use lotion. Also maybe try some compression garments... I heard they help a little in keeping the skin tight.
