Hello /r/loseit! I've lost 120lbs with strict CICO and daily exercise in 10 months. I feel great physically great. I'm 32 and my body is full of energy. I sleep well. Virtually all of my health problems are gone. I broke my back in high school and gained a lot of weight. With years of a sedentary lifestyle and poor eating habits, my body really went down hill. I was facing back surgery and decided to make a change. I cut all processed food, sugar, alcohol and started tracking calories and macros. My first day at the gym, I got on an elliptical for 10 minutes and my heart rate was 210 and I passed out. Now, I run and bike everyday and lift 6 days a week. I sold my car and walk and bike everywhere. I've really turned my health around. My next goal is to learn to have confidence in myself. I've talked to quite a few people who have transformed their bodies in similar fashions and I've heard very similar comments about their self-image. I still feel like the person I was. I don't feel attractive in anyway and still harbor a lot of social anxiety. I'm eager to keep improving myself and my life but I'm not sure what kinds of steps to take to improve my self-image. It's detrimental to my self-esteem. I'm a musician and teach, compose and perform for a living. I have friends and enjoy my time with them. I lead an exciting lifestyle and I'm not sure what else to work on. Any other Redditors who've gone through these changes had a similar phase?
