    I was 320lbs start of this year. I’ve been battling my weight my whole life! Previously I’ve lost a couple of stone but couldn’t tell a difference, gave up and put it back on.

    I’ve recently lost just under 7 stone so far. I still can’t tell a difference really when I look in a mirror (I can tell when I look at photos, so strange) I am in smaller size clothes though.
    People started commenting around the 5 stone mark, now when I loose weight people notice a lot faster now I’m smaller. Last weekend I had 4 people in one day mention how much weight I’ve lost and that I look amazing, it just took a long time for it to show.
    Hang in there and trust it will happen!

    Body Dysmorphia is a thing. I went through the same thing. It took ages to go away for me, and even now still flares it’s ugly head.

    You know how the kids talk about “food babies” ? If I eat or drink a lot, and see my food baby in the mirror or shower, it can take me back. I have to take calming breaths and remind myself this too shall pass.

    Literally, lol.

    Have people take more photos. I’ve had to ask my husband to randomly take more of me so I can see myself as “others” see me. He forgets though. 🤦🏻‍♀️
