weightloss aftermath
Hi, my name is Donna, I to have lost from 265 to 135,,I worked very hard to lose this weight..climbing stairs on my tippy toes,starving,I didnt bing and purge or become anorexic,or abuse laxatives,,I worked VERY hard,,but I wasnt prepared for the aftermath of the weight loss,,the loose skin,,the always feeling like that 265lb woman or the fact that I never see the smaller me,,i still see the 265lb me,its hard to over come these demons,,I do have more energy but I still wear baggy cloths because I dont feel small,,I feel FAT..I really thought after all the hard work i put into loseing this weight id feel like a new person,, but I dont. I cant afford to have the surgery I need to obtain the results I was looking for, Ive begged Dr.Phil to help me but I never get a responce.Then I was watching his show one day and seen a young woman on their with the same issues I have and Dr.Phil helped her, Ive been asking for this help for over 2 years now,why was he willing to help her but not me? Everyone talks about loseing weight and getting healthy, but no one bothers to tell you about the mental aftermath of doing the weight loss deed..Im telling you now, there are alot of mental demons to deal with, you dont look like these models on T.V,,but I never really wanted to..I just wanted to look normal,but I dont. the saggy skin is disgusting to me.I really let it control alot of areas of my life, such as clothing,love life and how i feel about myself when I look in the mirror. I would suggest to anyone trying to lose a large amount of weight, to seek counseling during the whole process,you need to lose the weight for your health, but you need the counceling for your mental health,
