Starting the Journey
The Reddit user ComplimentsOfMae began her weight loss journey from 336lbs. She is 42 years old and 5 feet 3 inches tall. Her progress has been remarkable, as she has lost 218lbs and is now at 118lbs. Her goal is to reach a weight of 170lbs, for which she has to lose another 48lbs. However, her journey has been affected by body dysmorphia, which makes it difficult for her to see the progress of her weight loss.
Dealing with Body Dysmorphia
Body dysmorphia is a mental health disorder in which individuals perceive flaws in their physical appearance that are not necessarily present. ComplimentsOfMae's condition makes it difficult for her to see the progress of her weight loss, but she acknowledges the changes in her clothing size. It is essential to note that body dysmorphia can affect individuals regardless of their body weight and can lead to unhealthy habits and behaviors.
Showing Visible Changes
Despite her body dysmorphia, ComplimentsOfMae's progress is visible to other Redditors. Many have congratulated her progress and noticed the changes in her collarbone, arms, stomach, hips, legs, and even her makeup game. She has also become an inspiration to others who are in the process of losing weight, emphasizing the importance of staying motivated throughout the journey.
Tackling Loose Skin
Losing a tremendous amount of weight can result in loose skin, which is also part of ComplimentsOfMae's journey. Although her legs have some dimples due to the excess skin, she has been able to tolerate it. However, she is planning to have surgery on her arms and fupa (fat upper pubic area) to address the extra skin. It is crucial to understand that loose skin is a natural side effect of weight loss, and individuals should focus on leading a healthy lifestyle rather than worrying too much about it.
Encouraging others
ComplimentsOfMae's journey is a testament to the power of consistent hard work and determination. Despite her body dysmorphia and loose skin, she continues to stay motivated and focused on her goals. Her progress inspires others to take action towards achieving their weight loss goals. Her story shows that change is possible, and anyone can achieve their desired results with dedication and a healthy lifestyle.
