Your relationship with yourself changes
The journey from wanting to lose weight to doing so to processing that change isn’t so clean and simple, says Almaroof. “Psychologically, to some extent, you can deal with some body dysmorphia when it comes to extreme weight loss. When you’re looking at yourself in the mirror, it’s you, but you don’t realize it’s you until looking at before and after photos.” Almaroof says that, even when she’d look at photos of herself in competition shape, she still didn’t entirely realize that was her – she still believed there was more weight to lose or more changes to be made.
