Nervous about seeing family after weight loss (self.loseit)

My family makes no bones about talking about weight loss and gain in unhealthy ways. I love seeing people but I am totally dreading this year.

I never expected sustained weight loss would make me feel so weird about being thinner. I find myself in the trap of thinking everything will be great if I’m skinny. Instead I feel embarrassed. What the hell?

I recently saw my hairdresser after three months and 20 pounds. She noticed but said nothing so I just ripped the seal off and we talked about it a lot. She is a safe person who I know won’t say hurtful stuff. I wish I could say the same about my family.

**edit - I forgot I originally posted this from my lemmy.world account and then answered from my lemm.ee account. I’m fired.

When someone talks about your body and makes you uncomfortable ,it gives you permission to talk about their body.
