Recently, I hit a new low of 55 pounds weight loss. I am grateful I got to this point, but I still feel weird in my skin.

It was just recently that I bought some clothes that fit me. I dont know how to feel because I have been wearing baggy clothes for a while, but I had enough of the loose fitting clothes. Like TMI but my pants were getting into places they shouldn't go.

It's like I feel weird in loose fitting clothes and I feel weird in clothes that fit me. I look in the mirror and don't really see changes day to day. I do take weekly photos and measure myself. But it's like my body does not comprehend the changes most of the time.

I don't know if I will feel normal in my body. I was so used to being bigger and most of the time my clothes fit me. I had the same clothes for most of my adult life and sure I bought some pieces here and there. But my wardrobe never really changed, honestly.

So there is definitely a shock that I might have to buy more new clothes. I still have 90+ pounds to be at a healthier weight for my height. I am loathing going to the store. I hate trying on new clothes, even in this new smaller body.

It's so weird seeing my new body shape, and I honestly don't know how to dress myself. I want to actually have a wardrobe that makes me feel confident, and I want to look cute but because I am going to continually lose weight, I feel like it is going to be a while for me to feel like that.

I honestly don't know if I will feel normal in my own skin. It's quite an experience being a bigger person most of my life and now having to cope with changes I didn't expect from weight loss.

I don't know how to describe it anymore. Just been feeling numb and empty. When another bad thing happens, I don't feel much anymore. I was thinking of taking meds again just so I dont feel anything at all. It's been rough feeling anything when I do. It overall feels too much. I had thoughts again last night, but I know I am a coward to do anything. It just feels like a no way out these days. I think the thing that pushed me over the edge is that I am living completely alone now(besides my dog). I have had people be quite pushy for me to go back to church. I don't think it is really going to help me. If anything, I feel like I might have a literal breakdown if I go to church. Each day gets worse, not better. Each day I find myself dying a little more inside. I dont know if I will get back to me.
