be happy with my body

I need this. You can see I have lose weight on my goal list. I am not fat, they are mere vanity pounds. With that said, i did start of fat, but not anymore.

I need to learn to accept my body!

I’ve lost 10lbs or so this summer and I do look good for it. I like my body, I do. I guess it is that I feel I shouldn’t – ridiculous isn’t it. However, I do what to fit in my clothes (seeing as I can’t afford more!) and I think if I keep up with the CC website and the not drinking or eating excessively (can’t anyway on my non-existant budget) then I should be fine. Not looking at celebrity websites will help, I think. And I can keep going to the gym. That’s paid for. So long as it doesn’t get in the way of my writing.

To be happy with my body—it’s a foreign concept for me.

I am 5’4” and weigh 120lbs.

I have not been overweight or close to it in my entire life, but after struggling with body and weight issues for the past six years of my life, it’s time for things to change. It’s time to take a deep breath, and to deal. Be grateful for the body I do have—imperfections and all. There is no day better than today.

University classes resume September 4, and this year I will put my gym pass to good use, even if it kills me. No excuses, I will make it to the gym at least once a week. It may be a low starting goal, but I would rather gain a little encouragement from meeting my goals in the beginning rather than setting the bar too high and giving up after being disappointed for not following through.

I’m pretty skinny. But not the sort of skinny that would look good in a bikini. I have a little bit of a stomach.

Just found out that me, my family and my best friend are going away to a tropical island in 48 days. (yes I counted) I suddenly felt really insecure about my body. I started eating a lot less and exercising a lot more.

When I say not eating much I mean 1/4 piece of pizza 1 biscute, a boost bar, and some potato. I don’t know if I have gotten an eating disorder or something but I really want a flat stomach and to not have to worrie about how I look.

If anyone has some advise that would be great.

It has to be the thing that I will always love about myself.
It’s worth having, because everyone notices confidence.

I gained alot of weight in the past few months and i need to lose it, but first, i need to stop obsessing and try to just be happy the way i am, and then work on losing the weight

In the past year, I’ve come a long way on this. My body has changed, but I have.

Some thoughts:

- My body is not open for comment or judgment from others. I’m not obligated to look a certain way.

- It’s nearly impossible to make a permanent change to one’s body. Nearly everyone who loses a significant amount of weight gains it back within three years. It’s next to impossible for people who are naturally slim to maintain weight gain, even if they eat huge amounts of food. So if this is the body I’m going to have, why put energy into trying to change it?

You have a good body no matter what! Sure you can improve it, but be happy with it no matter what!

I’m trying to lose weight, but only for medical reasons (my family has a history of diabetes and I want to lower my risk). Aside from that, I’m perfectly fine with my own body.
