I genuinely can't tell how I look anymore. I lost 60lbs healthily from winter 2024-winter 2026 and then fell back into disordered habits. How can I feel less embarrassed being naked in front of my boyfriend? Are there any mental exercises I can do? It's kinda getting in the way of our intimate life from being a mental block :/

I used to be 262 pounds and now I’m down to 190lbs and began my weightlifting journey! Now I can take these photos confidently :)

I want to wear this dress out tomorrow because it's really cute, but it's shorter than I usually go since I'm really insecure of how big my calves are, I'm also a little insecure of my elbows, you can see it in the third photo how the fat folds over my elbow. I'm looking for support, or maybe encouragement so I can feel good about wearing a dress this short

I’m walking/hiking more, but I don’t know. I’ve changed my diet. My self esteem is lowwww, but I know I need to just stick with it.

I couldn’t see it for a while, but I woke up today and felt like I saw some differences. I’m trying really hard to eat right & exercise even with my bad leg. Any support & positivity would be welcome right now. I still want to lose about 20-40 lbs - but ultimately the goal is to get stronger & love the body I live in.

Trying to share the positive vibes 🫶

I’ve always fluctuated weight wise, but I’m really proud of myself recently for focusing on getting stronger not just shrinking! I’ve started posting publicly on Snap with daily affirmations to keep myself and others motivated. What’s your favorite affirmation you give yourself? 🖤

I've been trying to love my body, and today my husband's family member had a comment about how I look.

TW for weight shaming!!

We hadn't seen my husband's family in a while because they're kind of toxic. About 30 minutes into our visit his aunt commented that I've gotten fat. I've gained some weight but I don't think I look drastically different. I've been struggling with confidence and I feel like today was a huge setback for me.
