Struggling to accept myself

This isn't a physical issue, this is a psychological issue. I think counseling is the best option, as a recovering anorexic I will tell you that not being accepting of your body will not improve even if you lose more weight. Having people online tell you you look good, or that losing more will make you too skinny won't help the underlying issue. This is a problem of a fundamental insecurity about yourself as a person. Great job losing the weight! You probably did it with diet and exercise. Now it's time to lose the emotional weight, which means counseling and self reflection. Just think of it as a diet and gym membership for your mind.5
