Significant weight gain can deeply affect emotional and mental health, leading to self-consciousness and avoidance of social situations. Individuals may feel unrecognized by friends or judged based on their appearance, which can cause feelings of shame. Overcoming these issues involves self-acceptance, seeking support from accountability partners, consulting healthcare professionals for advice, and focusing on small health victories. Greet others positively, and do not shy away from them, as genuine interactions can boost confidence and help in rebuilding a positive self-image.
"Own your reality and how you feel about it. Look yourself in the mirror and profess love for you as you are. This may seem silly or difficult, but it will help you tend to your own needs if you are being kind to yourself."
"Identify an accountability partner who will cheer you on and support you on your journey to better health. Go to the doctor. Get a full medical workup to find out if you have health conditions to address."
