Embracing Your New Reflection
Introduction
For many people dealing with obesity, mirrors are often avoided. But when you're on a weight loss journey, it's essential to become familiar with your changing reflection. Embrace the process and get to know the new you.
Overcoming Mirror Avoidance
It's common for those struggling with weight to steer clear of mirrors. Many remove full-length mirrors from their homes to escape harsh self-criticism. The focus often narrows to just the face, avoiding the full body reflection.
In my experience, avoiding mirrors allowed the pounds to accumulate unnoticed. But hindsight has taught me a valuable lesson.
A New Perspective After Surgery
After undergoing RNY bariatric surgery, the first thing I did was purchase a full-length mirror. Initially, facing my reflection was challenging and brought tears. Yet, I knew I now had the right tools to shed the excess weight.
As the pounds started disappearing, I gradually learned to love my evolving reflection. While I noticed imperfections like loose skin, the joy of watching my body shrink far outweighed them.
Embracing All Reflections
I stopped avoiding reflective surfaces, from store windows to restaurant mirrors. My husband once remarked that I was becoming vain, but I explained, "I'm not vain?"I just need to recognize the new me." He understood once he realized how quickly my appearance was changing.
A Friend's Humorous Realization
A friend once shared a memorable experience: she attended a birthday party and kept noticing a familiar woman across the room. Intrigued, she asked her husband about the woman, only to realize eventually that she was looking at her own reflection in a mirrored wall. It was a comical and enlightening moment for her.
The Importance of Regular Reflection
As you progress in your weight loss journey, your reflection will continuously evolve. It's important to look beyond the risk of being perceived as vain. Once your weight stabilizes, you’ll recognize yourself more easily.
If you haven't already, invest in a full-length mirror. Regularly observe your body, appreciating every change and acknowledging the past version of yourself. Understanding your reflection enriches the journey and fosters a deeper self-appreciation.
