Dealing with Body Changes? (TW- Discusses Weight)
Hi y’all! I have an issue that I’m wondering if anyone else has dealt with, or maybe has some advice on. In the past 16 months, I’ve been glutened 3 times which is abnormally high for me. With each glutening, my body goes through so much pain that I tend to lose weight very rapidly. Because of getting so sick so often, I’ve lost a LOT a weight and it is very noticeable.
Here is my issue: people (esp my in-laws) love to comment on my weight and talk about how FABULOUS and SKINNY I look. I always feel so weird because I feel praised for looking “good” but I look that way because I was debilitatingly sick for months. Additionally, because of how rapid the weight loss has been, I feel disconnected from my body and don’t recognize myself some days.
Has anyone dealt with either of these issues and can give advice on how to cope?
