Lost 50 pounds but still depressed

Always thought losing weight was gonna fix all my issues but it didn’t 🥹 still sad and lonely. Even though the numbers have gone lower I still see myself the exact same. Nothing is ever enough. On the journey to self love hopefully.

2024/10/28 Edited to

... Read moreLosing weight often changes the numbers on the scale but does not always translate to emotional well-being. Many individuals face emotional hurdles post-weight loss, feeling as if they are never enough despite their achievements. This phenomenon can lead to depression and a negative self-image, making it vital to address both physical and mental health. It's essential to seek support and pursue holistic wellness, involving therapy, healthy relationships, and self-care practices. Allowing oneself to feel sadness while actively working on self-improvement is part of the healing journey. Educating oneself on emotional health aspects related to weight loss can also help in understanding personal struggles. Positive affirmations, mindfulness, and connecting with support networks can foster self-love and resilience in overcoming these feelings.
