it is not only girls....

I have this problem alot too.

I came from 240 lbs very fatty, and with a 46 inch waiste, busting the seams.

Being 183 and low body fat, slightly muscular, with a 33 inch waiste is not good enough hardley ever.

I went to church today and was asked by a couple of people if I had been really sick. the tendons are showing in my forearms, I have veins surfacing in my legs, my jaw line is hard, and I am in primo ironman shape.

AND- I feel fat most of the time. I still think about food, and staying our of the mirror is a challenge.

Realizing body image is a factor helps me to remember it's abotu health, not alwys vanity.

having a few good peeps that will keep you straight is good. Posting pics here and letting us be the judge is good. I have a 16 year old daughter that is very "real" with me.

FOR ME, and maybe for you too Kat- is hat WE REMEMBER WE ARE NOT A GOOD PERSPECTIVE OF OURSELVES.

LOOK LESS, and LIVE MORE.

stop looking down at yourself
try to limit mirror time
enjoy how you FEEL! Listen to the compliments you get and internalize them.

understanding,
Todd
