I've always been relatively thin but that doesn't mean I haven't ever felt "heavy" or bloated or just not thin enough..particularly regarding my stomach area. And yeah, I read all the magazines and watch all the shows and that doesn't help! But...as I've gotten older (I'm 28.75), and it's gotten harder to lose weight, I've gotten more comfortable with my body and how it is. It doesn't hurt that I'm married to a man who is constantly complimenting me. So I tell myself---we'll, HE likes it, why shouldn't I? Another thing that helps---I'm wanting to have kids soon--REAL soon, and I know that being ultra thin isn't going to help that. It helps me keep perspective and to understand the difference between healthy and skinny for the sake of being skinny, you know? I exercise regularly and eat well and as long as I keep that up, no matter what my weight, I feel good. Plus, I remind myself---if I lose too much weight, I'll lose what boobs I have. Ok, that's dumb but you take the good with the bad right???
