Body image issues after losing weight?

This is a subject that I didn’t realize I would need to address but…well…here I am. Does anyone who has lost a lot of weight struggle with body image? A quick summary to help make sense of where I’m coming from. When I was in my 20s-30s i basically lived at my gym (hence the username)…I was strong…I was cut (lifted 5/days a week twice a day on a morning/evening split)…I had endurance (ran 5k on treadmill 5/days a week and also swam 3-3.5 miles/ day most days)…I was at the gym a lot. At my best I even completed a 1/2 marathon with the support of my MFP friends on a group chat. Fast forward I broke my right knee, tore my rotator cuff in my right shoulder, injured my lower back (all work not workout related). I also have an autoimmune disease that put me in the hospital and causes chronic pain. I’m only 5’8” and I ballooned up to 350.1 pounds…I hated how I looked but it was also comfortable in a way. I wore baggy clothes, I stopped getting any attention from people, moved to a secluded area in the woods and basically became depressed and introverted. Recently I started feeling the impact of my weight (dangerously high BP, borderline diabetes, high cholesterol even though I’m vegan and don’t consume anything with cholesterol…the usual problems). I started a new pattern of eating and lost 98.1 pounds through diet alone in just over a year. Now my body has changed significantly. I did powerlifting to add muscle/ bulk and now I’m adding some cardio back and working out more for gains and definition, but I know my body will never be the same. I’m happy to be at this point but still struggling a bit. When I started I made the goal of posting some body pics on my profile (def not to the community forums lol) when I lost 100 pounds…This week
that will happen. So my question is for people who have lost a lot already…how to you feel about your bodies after a lot of weight loss? Do you have conflicting feelings? Pride vs shame? That type of thing…I feel weird even thinking about it because I see people here struggling to lose weight at all so I feel I should be feeling more grateful to have made it this far even though I am not at my goal yet…I have made it to the back 9….back 3 really. I do talk to people (medical professionals) about this but seeing if anyone else will share what their experiences have been and maybe add some perspective to this. I’m usually very prepared for things but tbh I’m blindsided by the mixed emotions this has brought up and trying to process it all has been well…a process in itself to say the least. Thanks in advance for any replies.

Be well everyone,
