I'm Still Not Comfortable...

Posting my full body pics here or on any other site. The most I can do is my face pic. Maybe once I feel like I have lost a substantial amount of weight I will be able to.

What are you uncomfortable with in your weight loss journey?

Mine is how I look to others in the clothes I wear. I am currently in a size large or 13/14 pant. I always feel they are too small for me. Actually the yoga pants are starting to get big around the waist where I have to keep pulling them up when I am on the treadmill. But I came from a size 24 pants and size 2X-3X shirt. I feel like when my clothes are that small they "expose" to the world that I have not lost enough. I know it is all in my head since I am down a grand total of 76 pounds, and everyone compliments me on how good I look. I know it is all in my head but that is what I am not comfortable with:)

@@dusky goddess, I posted a face picture comparison on this site about two months ago because I felt it may encourage other people who are in the weight loss stage. I think about having it removed from time to time. I struggle emotionally with my new body and realize there is a lot of healing that has to come from within. I was never one to flaunt it for the camera even when I was young. I didn't take my high school year book picture but picture avoidance worsened with weight gain. It bothers me when people talk about how skinny I am now. Even that makes me feel uncomfortable. My mind is struggling with these comments. I don't have answers for your situation but I hope you become more comfortable with who you are physically. I'm sure you are beautiful in a full body picture as well.
