Nervous about seeing family after weight loss (lemmy.world)

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.

I’ve been tossing the idea around. I already told my cool family.
