Since using weight loss medication, a woman living in Philadelphia has found relief from her eating disorder while enjoying activities with her 6-year-old child. However, despite losing 80 pounds with the medication, she still struggles with body dysmorphia. She explains that looking in the mirror can be disorienting as her perception of her body changes. She emphasizes the importance of understanding that weight loss is not a remedy for all of life’s challenges and warns against equating self-worth with appearance. Experts recommend focusing on improving body image separate from weight loss and setting boundaries around discussions about one’s body. Seeking professional help is advised for those struggling with body image issues or a dangerous cycle of drastic weight loss.
