Sometimes it's just body image

[vv56964]

Back in early grad school I did research on body image and how our expectations far exceed our perceived selves.  I never thought that I would be a victim, but I have been lately.

I was in the breakroom yesterday at lunch with two other girls and we started talking about weight. One of the girls that I consider very very slender is like 20 pounds heavier than me!!!!!  OMG!!!!  I absolutely couldn't believe it. I didn't share my weight because I didn't want to get the "whatever" eye-roll because I've been trying to get back down 4 pounds.

Sometimes.....we are perfect and we just can't accept it.

omg!! that is so true , i feel the same way im 120 and i still complain everyday to my hubby that i still feel fat even though i have lost 40 pounds, im still not happy with my body i really want to get down to 110 but its just so hard trying to get those last few pounds off, but i know what u mean about getting the whatever look i get that from my friends all the time when i say i want to loose 10 more pounds , they tell me why do i want to loose more weight, they say that im gonna look sick if i loose anymore weight

I have looked back on photos of myself and realized I looked good when I thought I was fat.  That is totally true, you need to feel good about yourself all the time no matter if you are fat, feel good, eat healthy, work out - just do it to feel good and you will feel so much better.
