My own reflection made me cry and lose my appetite

r/

I’ve been on the weight loss train for almost a year. Lost some weight. Gained some confidence. Good in the world. But it’s been getting slower and harder and I’m still not where I want to be.

Today I was working out in an empty class/dance studio, surrounded by mirrors. I had like four angles of my body. I stared at myself, at my midsection, for too long, and lost it. I ended my workout one set early and stormed out.

I’m all for self love but I’m really hating my body today. My own body is disgusting to me and I completely lost my appetite. I’m really embarrassed that my own body gave me such a visceral reaction.
