Image issues? Why am I feeling this?

byoung8433 · October 2016

So I've been doing mfp for about 50 days. I work out almost daily and weigh in once a month. All of these things I am fine with and am showing slow steady sustainable results but, I have issues with my body image. Which u know everyone does otherwise we wouldn't be on here. Lately, I feel.like mine is extreme. I hate any image of myself and looking in the mirror I am constantly finding myself saying I look worse than when I started? Did anyone have this problem? Like I walk past the mirror in the bathroom and I look at my stomach and I feel more gross. Now than I ever did. And it's so weird because my pants are looser and energy is up but I can't shake this. Any other mfpers have this issue? What did you do for it that kept you sucessful?

Sometimes things get worse before they get better. Every day I found one part of my body I was happy with. There were days where all I could find was that my ankles looked smaller.

Think of it like deep cleaning the fridge. You pull everything out and put it on the counter. You take all the shelves apart and make a bigger mess. By the time you are done the fridge looks great and you've gotten rid of all the expired stuff. You had to make things worse before they got better.

I'm worth USMCP here, try to find one thing you like. The refrigerator analogy is great.
