Does anyone feel MORE self conscious after weight loss?

Short version, I've lost almost 5 stone. From 14st 9 to 9st 12. I'm 5'6 and BMI is 22.5ish. I have 32HH boobs which i know doesn't help.

But I still look huge in photos, I have no confidence in my clothes and change a million times before going places (especially now the weather is warmer and I need to wear less)

I wasn't like this when I was bigger, I wore shorts, strappy vests, whatever and I didnt care.

Why do I feel so awful? Has anyone else had this? My partner took some photos of me when we went out today and I can't bear to look at them!

You don’t look huge your brain has not got used to seeing your new size. Trust what your partner says.
