I know the feeling. I have a serious love/hate relationship with diet and exercise, but am pushing myself to find that happy medium. You can do it!

I completely and utterly FEEL YOU.
Trying to lose weight and just generally get in shape has been a huge struggle for me, too. Hang in there and try to just stay healthy.. and know that you’re definitely not alone at all.

I admit. I judge. I’ve had v. minimal body issues and none at all now. So I can’t imagine what you’re feeling — but that’s MY perspective because I’ve never been there to count calories, etc.

I’m linking to this – this is a great rant against others like me.

Basically, I am going to reply with a big giant DITTO.

I love you just the way you are. But trust me, I understand the food neurotic behavior and the body issues.

I found myself very lucky when I was younger, as I exercised regularly and could eat anything I wanted without gaining a pound. Now, I find myself in my mid-20s, and I’m literally appalled that I could get to this point without realizing it. It’s really frustrating, especially because now I’m getting married. Why couldn’t this start in a few years?

But I have to keep telling myself that I have to be happy with myself – with the way I look and with my general health – and I’m all that matters. If we try to please others, we’ll never be satisfied.

I wish you the best with this because I know it’s a hard place to be. But as you can see, there are so many people who are here for you & who are going through the same struggles you are. And besides, weight isn’t everything. Show them muscles like you’re Arnold and forget the numbers

it is most assuredly not easy. i think i work as hard at it as i work on everything else in my life combined. it’s constant. and for some people…that’s the way it is.

you’ll find your own way. ignore everyone else and figure out what that is for you.

Everyone has body issues. Hell, there are whole industries built on making sure that everyone has body issues.

And anyone who says they don’t have body issues is lying.
