How long did it take you to stop hating yourself when losing weight? I feel just as fat at 5’8 and 200 that I did at 250. Like how can I lose 1/5th of my body weight and still not see a difference.

I was 180 once and now teetering between 130 and 135… I still look at myself and believe i’m the same size as I was when I was heavier and freak out when I gain an extra pound above that. I truly think it’ll be a mental struggle the rest of my life to realize i am not the same weight as i once was. But keep working towards it! If you don’t see it, others will and you’ll feel it!

Just be confident, take pics of yourself without your shirt on, and then compare them when you lose more weight. You’ll notice a difference when you lose a lot of weight. And continue to workout and eat healthy, and do some of those like mewing exercises and the stuff that makes your face look more defined. Doing those will also allow you to see more of a difference.

i think loving yourself is a difficult journey and youve probably just gotten used to the opposite. it's not something that will just suddenly happen. you need to give yourself some grace and try to look outside yourself at your achievements and great qualities. rather than losing the weight in order to love yourself, think of it that you're losing the weight because you love yourself. being thinner doesn't guarantee self love.

You got something wrong with your self confidence and self esteem. It won't matter what size you are if you're not confident about any skin you're in

Also, you don’t really need to show those pics to anybody, they’re for yourself, and only yourself. Unless after you lose more weight and feel better, you can post them to show how you changed, and then inspire other people that they can change as well.

I have the other problem as a guy, I used to be 5’11 165lbs and in the best shape of my life. Then I got stressed and stopped eating and lost 15 pounds in 2 months. It’s been over a year and I’m still struggling to gain weight and feel proud of myself.

Not on #1’s side but as having lost weight myself, when you are that much overweight your maintenance calories are so high, just eating like a normal person (~2500kcal) will make you lose weight FAST

that’s understandable but there lies the solid advice the OP was asking for rather than just insults
