I find that when you lose weight it can mess with your mind.
I am finding that I am getting lots of complements at the minute from lots of different people. People are saying that I am doing well, I am looking amazing. I hear it but I don’t actually believe it.
My mind is like a jigsaw and I am gradually putting the pieces back into place
Up until now my mind has been in a muddle.
I find that I am my own worst critic, I know I have been eating healthier, feeling healthier, losing weight, looking better. Even though I know this I don’t believe it.
On one hand I think I have done really well but on the other I haven’t.
Matt keeps saying he is proud of me but I am not proud of myself. Matt says I have done really well – I say that it had to be done. Matt says I am looking so much better – I say I just look ok.
Even though I see proof of a huge improvement. I would rather believe the doubt in my mind than the truth in my eyes.
I will try and work on believing what people say, on the compliments I am getting and in the fact that I am doing well.

Debbie. The psychology of food and body image is grossly underrated! It will take time to make some adjustments in how you see yourself. We need a balance of seeing ourselves as acceptable, lovable and beautiful regardless of our dress size and weight. I really appreciate your honesty and openness with the blogs. You are doing great. You’ve done the hardest part already. Xx

I’ve heard many people going through very similar circumstances.
