Does anyone else feel super ashamed that it took so long to lose weight?

I’m 29F and am on track to lose a significant amount of weight. While I’m very excited, I also feel this heavy sense of embarrassment and shame at how long it has taken me to commit to a healthy lifestyle. I’ve been overweight since I was 10 years old, so I’ve been overweight almost twice as long as I’ve been a normal weight. Not to mention, my weight has been a huge obsession to me my entire life: I have felt such deep insecurity throughout jr high, high school, college, you name it. It really soured what could have been some wonderful years of my life.

Does anyone else relate to this feeling? I am hoping that once I reach my goal weight, I can look back with grace and empathy. But right now, I’m just so salty and ashamed and it keeps me from truly celebrating my accomplishments. Am I ever going to be able to look back on my life without regret and frustration?
