Setback today..... So swimsuit season is in. I was trying on swimsuits and I seen myself in the full length mirror... I got a nasty shock. I absolutely hate how I look. How does my husband actually find me attractive? I mean he couldn't possible like how my body looks. I'm not being too critical, just having a realistic view about how my body looks to others. It's absolutely disgusting. I can not believe I let myself get like this. Does anyone else feel this way?

    I feel this way all the time. I have curves in all the wrong places. I don't even want to bathing suit shop. I just end up crying lol. That's my motivation.

    I totally agree I nearly burst into tears today. You would think losing so much weight I would be happy with the way I look. If anything I think I hate the way I look even more now than before. I wonder if it is something that will pass or will I always hate the way I look?

    I bought my 1st Bikini today in years.
    The 1st one I tried on.
    I didn't look like a Model, or a 10, maybe not even a 6 but ya know what???

    Im rocking it.
    Op, Your trying, Its not going to happen over night. Its a lot of work.
    If you are not ready right now for a suit, This time next year if you put in the work, You will be a 10 I hope.

    :drinker:

    Whenever I start to feel this way I remind myself where I came from and where I am heading.

    Keep your head up; you are here and you are making a difference in your life! Don't dwell on what you haven't accomplished or do not have yet, instead embrace what you have accomplished and what you have changed about yourself.

    I feel the same way. So I decided that I need lots of help. I am tired of looking the way I do. I am going to depend on you all for encouragement because this takes a team and groups to help each other. So also, I decided this can't be a diet but a way of life. Just having one cheat meal once in a while and maybe not in the first four weeks. I say lets do this together!!!

    We all do! Take the swim suit OFF! That's how your husband can be attracted to you! Curves are sexy! I'd rather swim NAKED any day because people look wayyyyy better naked than stuff into those silly <expletive> swim suits - they always just cut in the wrong way and make people look like stuffed sausages... Don't let an over priced piece of fabric get you that down girl!

    Wow that is a very awesome way too look at it. I would appreciate al those who wish to add me to do so. You can never have too many motivational friends here. I keep forgetting the real thing is not about looking skinny, but becoming healthier.

    Ugh, I feel the same way. I appear pretty thin, but carry ALL of my weight in my bottom half, and any time I put on a swimsuit I feel like a bowling pin. I can hide it in other clothes, and I feel confident in most things, but never a swimsuit. Come on Fall!!!
