Body image changing more slowly than the body
This is a generated summary. It shows the 9 most-liked posts from a topic of 137, in their original order, with the accepted answer included where one exists. It is a reading aid and it will miss nuance — the full topic is the record.
Support and community: some people process weight change through community (online or in-person). Others prefer privacy. Knowing what you need and seeking it proactively helps.
