I’ve never been entirely happy with my body. I have days when I’m okay with it, and days when I’m not, but I guess everyone feels that way.
I’m a size 8 right now. Earlier this year I started running on a regular basis – first once a week, then twice, and now I’m trying to maintain at three times a week, but it’s hard when you’re busy. I also cut down on bread and cereals to one or two servings a day, not more, and only eat protein, fruits, and vegetables in the middle of the day. I also only try to drink alcohol on the weekends rather than throughout the week, so when I go out at night I try to make plans that don’t revolve around bars (though it’s sometimes easier said than done).
Is it working? Yes! It is. My clothes fit better and I’m starting to be able to fit into some size 6 stuff. But over the weekend I went on a total chocolate binge and am feeling guilty now…was it a slip? Maybe. These days I don’t really eat much chocolate at all, or any kinds of sweets, but when I was younger I used to all the time. I don’t usually have it around the house, which helps in avoiding it, but I had some leftover Halloween chocolate and I just went for it this weekend.
I know a one-time binge won’t pack on the pounds, but I feel guilty. I also feel a little unsure of myself, because it shows my willpower isn’t as strong as I thought.

Lcee09 dogs are consuming my thoughts!
I have been a size US size 8 (9 in juniors) since about 7th grade (and I am now a College freshman) and I would absolutely love to get down to a 4!! But, I genetically have big hips and a huge butt. And, although I have a small waist and bust, that’s where the weight comes off first. I’m hoping if I tone and lose about 15 pounds I can accomplish this goal and not look fat at my height any more!

I’m a size 8 now.. and i really want to be skinny. I’m 5”4 and i feel kinda fat the way i am now.. size 4 (UK) or skinny would make me feel better about myself but none of my friends agree. But i feel ugly and fat.. :(

A Fresh Start
16 months ago
I don’t want to get to this size because I have some weird obsession with my weight. I just know that when I lost weight many years ago and got down to a size 6 I still felt that I wanted to tone some more (since my stomach was not really flat, etc), so I have decided to make my new goal a size 4. I am a naturally thick girl, so being a size 4 will not make me look too skinny. I just know that the size I am now is uncomfortable on my 5’4.75’ body and I want to change that. I don’t want to get any smaller than a size 4. I just want a size that I will be comfortable with and will not have the same issues with my joints, breathing, etc that I am having now.

I know size 4 is a un-realistic goal, although I would really like to be a size 4! I guess a size 5-7 is where I should start out my goal so I don’t hurt myself. I am stuck at a size 9-10 and I don’t want to be here anymore.

Wow, I can’t fathom being a size 4 again. I have been a size four and smaller, and then one fateful summer I gained alot of weight and finally got some real woman fat on my body! Im 5’7”/120-125 lbs and for 5 years now I’ve fit in size 9 jeans, S/M shirts, and size 6 dresses (it’s because I have a big bum). To be a size four I’d be nothing but bones and hoping to gain some more weight… but not too much ;)
I think right now I’m at my sexy weight, and that’s what we should all try to get to, no matter what size or weight that is.
