Is Your Weight Loss Causing You Grief??
Monday, September 15th, 2008We received the following email today with this interesting opportunity for BodySpace members…
MTV’s award-winning documentary series “True Life” is interested in exploring the aftermath of a young person having lost a large amount of weight who is struggling to accept their new body.
If your story is worth sharing and you appear to be between the ages of 17-26, please email us at:
Give us your name, location, phone number and a photo, if possible. Explain your situation in detail: the more you share, the better we can understand your story and daily struggles.
For example: How much weight did you lose, when and how? Did the expectations you had post-weight-loss match your current reality? Who are the greatest and worst supports in your life regarding this issue? Do you have body image and self-esteem issues in spite of your new and improved appearance? Is clothes shopping still difficult? Do you have any physical issues you are still dealing with, like loose skin? Is there pressure to maintain your weight loss? From whom? Are you maintaining your weight loss? If so, how? Do you feel people treat you differently now? What are your greatest challenges and fears at this moment?
Thanks!
