I know this it is not uncommon to feel this way and the fact that you're recognizing it for what it is it says so much about where you are in your journey. You know your head is lying to you and you put yourself out there to seek help and share with others who will understand. That's such a big accomplishment in and of itself! Make sure to give yourself credit for that.
I don't really battle this myself but I can understand it. I remember when I first started low carb all I wanted was to get binge eating candy under control. I felt so stupid and weak that I had to "battle" that sugar craving like I was a heroin junky or something! So I decided right then, that I would take it that seriously. That every time I won that battle I would give myself credit for having made a good choice. Over time, I would build on that pride and it would be easier and easier every day to make the best choices for myself because I deserved to do the best for myself. I deserved to feel proud of what I accomplished! Even if other people could easily do the same thing... It was hard for me. So I deserved to feel proud when I beat it.
I really think that making all those tiny "deposits of pride" in myself are responsible for the fact that I've never had a cheat since day one. I don't even want to cheat. I'm worth more than dumb cheat.
Look at all of the great things you've done for body and health since June. It's really paying off for you. That must have been thousands of good decisions and "deposits" since then. It's time you cashed them in! You earned it! You get to feel every bit of that pride when you look in that mirror! It's yours! No one else's! Own it girl!

Your post really touched me. This is one of the hardest things for me. I felt like I was hearing a past version of myself in your post. I have I found that seeing my body more positively (even when I was at my heaviest) helped me actually see some change when I lost some weight. This is something that I still struggle with, but it has improved a lot.

The thing that really, really helped me was the following exercise. (I forgot where I heard about this.) Start off by thinking of 5 of the great things different parts of your body do for you. Write them down in a list. After a while (a day, a week or a month), go back and read the list and see if you can add to it.

For example:
I love my stong legs. They let me dance and bring me joy.
I love my loving arms. They let me hug the people I love and let me show those people how much I love them.

It sounded so strange to me a first, and I tried it thinking "I doubt this will work, but its not too hard to try". Strangely, after a while it started to sink in. I remember once when I was sarting to think how much I hated my belly and how fat and disgusting it was when a positive thought popped in. "No, my belly is beautiful and its the part of me that can hold my future child!" It shocked me that something I had writttten down some weeks ago popped into my head with such force. It felt so good.

I wish you the best and that you find a way to see the beauty and strength in yourself.

I understand all too well. I lost 36 lb, my pants are a size 4, I run 7+ miles a day. I look at myself in the mirror or on the pictures, and all I see is fat. There is a part of my brain that tells me I am hideously fat, and that part is the one that looks at all my photos, and all my videos. I figure I need a lot of time with a therapist to actually fix it, so I decided to focus on what my body can accomplish versus what it looks like. I will never look like a model in a magazine, and that is ok, but I will run a marathon, lift weights, hike, enjoy myself and live a full, healthy life. After all, there is more to me than this body. I refuse to let my weight or my poor body image define me, or stop me from doing things. So, hugs and good vibes! You're not alone. I hope you find a solution that works for you, and be able to see yourself for the wonderful, active, healthy and happy human being you are.

I have suffered from this thinking about myself any time I ever lost weight, I always saw the bigger me in the mirror! This time has been different. I can see the smaller me, but I relate it to feeling it too. In that I mean that the fat loss has made me feel thinner (never felt this before). I know my body was inflamed in every way possible, without a doubt, and keto/lchf has been correcting that inflammation, making me feel it! The loss of 12" off just my waist in 10 months is testament to that too! Anyway, I think that's been the difference this time, for me.

I do understand the issue though, and know that learning to love yourself is extremely important, as well as correcting negative self talk! Our brain believes what we think, and when we are always thinking negatively about ourselves, we begin to believe it! Find ways to turn negative thoughts into positive! Also, I'm sure you have people you admire for their character, they are great people that would help anybody, you think they are great. This is also how we should feel about ourselves, we deserve to have kind thoughts about ourselves, and to love ourselves too! This is something that I worked on with a psychologist for a while a few years ago, and that's what I got from it. It helped me tremendously (it took several months to change the negative self talk, and I'm still working on it!)!

It is good that you recognize it, and came here to talk about it! I hope you are able to see the wonderful changes, everyday, very soon! Hugs!
