I Lost 100 Pounds, and Now I Have No Idea How I Look
Losing 100 pounds is a monumental achievement. It’s a milestone that I worked tirelessly towards, battling through countless workouts, dietary changes, and moments of self-doubt.
But now, having reached this significant goal, I’m faced with a new, unexpected challenge: I have no idea how I look.
The Struggle with Body Image

When I look in the mirror, sometimes I still see the person I was before.
Other times, I don’t recognize the person staring back at me.
