I’m done dieting and trying to be thin. I love food, it makes me feel happy and full and I love it. So, I’ve decided to just be the fat girl. My kids love me and my husband does too, so why should I torture myself? My best friend is dieting and she is doing amazing so I think I shall live vicariously through her. She seems happy and I’m happy for her, but I just don’t have the motivation to want to do that for myself.
ok, how about just being healthy? it’s taken me over 8 years to get that one. now it isn’t about the size 6 for me anymore. it’s about being healthy and vital.
Yeah, but I feel like right now I need to emotionally be healthy first so I’m putting more into that right now. Maybe at some point I can focus on weight loss, but right now it’s just too much for me to deal with.
fair enough. eat an oreo for me.
Kate,
Did you hear Jeffery R. Hollands talk on Sat? He was speaking to the young women but I think it pertains to all of us he told us to be accepting of the bodies that we have. He said we should be healthy but there is no universal optimum size. Just do the best to be the best you! It doesn’t mean you have to lose weight or be a certain size. Take care of your emotional health now and the rest will come.
