Oh wow Taylor- that's a hard question. You know, when I was at my heaviest (again) I actually had pretty good body image. I didn't hesitate to bare my arms, I loved clothes and shopping, and I never (ever!) compared myself to 'normal' sized women. I really didn't think that I was as big as I was- that was part of the problem. Through the first 20 pounds or so of loss, I felt GREAT! My weight loss was quick and relatively easy at that point- and I was as slim as I had been in years. I got to a certain point where I had come to the realization that even as much weight as I had lost, I was still very overweight. I started to compare myself to average sized women and had to face the reality of how heavy I still was. I went through a period of really feeling out of balance with my body. It was a really slow process and took quite a bit of time, but I am finally starting to come back around and be able to feel more at home in my skin. I still have a long way to go, but I think that now I can see myself for how I actually look, which might be a first for me.
