I've been wanting to revert to my old ways of starvation and exercise. I hope I can stay strong and not let body image get the best of me. But everywhere I look I see fat and loose skin. How can I love myself when I think I look fat, but everyone else sees me as thin?

Loving yourself definitely isn't easy, I sympathize.

It is terrible looking at yourself and seeing horror especially when other people don't see what you see.
I hope you stay strong and fight bad urges!

The loose skin & ugly wrinkles came from loosing so much weight...& there was nothing pretty about that.....bones are just as ugly as fat IMO....but it's hard to get it all together in our mind & see a clear picture at times.

It is a struggle we have to keep working on.
