Size 10? Fat butt
Well, I've been thinking a lot about my weight. I am having trouble with body image. I still feel fat. I feel that I'm around these women who have perfect bodies, probably size 4.
In fact I HAAAAAAATE this Nutrisystem commercial with Zora in it. She was saying she went from a size 10 to a 4. They showed her "before" picture. Yeah,you're a real fat butt being a size 10. Whatever. I mean, what is that saying to young women? If you're a size 10 then you really need to lose weight? Unfortunately, I'm falling prey to that. Especially with having a baby, everything's kinda droopy. Plus I have a stupid bump on my stomach from a biking accident. There are days that I just hate my body.
I'm also thinking about discontinuing my WW's membership. I won't stop doing WW's, I'll still keep doing my points. It's just that I don't think I'll ever get down to the goal weight that's set for me. I've been stuck at 155 seems like forever. Every MOnday, when I do my weigh in, I don't lose weight and then I get depressed. Maybe I'll just be happy where I'm at. I'm a size 8-10 and a size M in shirts. I'm very happy with that.

One advantage to seeing nothing but Bob the Builder - I don't have to see any of those crappy commercials for Nutrisystem and other weight-loss programs. I always wanted to slap those women in the commercials who talked about going to a size 4, or about losing 5 pounds and having their size 2 jeans fit. Sure, there are people out there who have that very slender body type. But a lot of us (me included) don't, and it's a shame that the societal ideal of beauty is thrown at us as the example of how we "should" look and makes us feel bad about ourselves.
As for the WW goal weight - I think those things are skewed. When I was doing WW, my goal weight was in the range of 97 pounds to 127 pounds. Now honestly, can you see me EVER weighing 97 pounds?! I'd look sickly. And I weighed 146 when I was 15, and looked pretty darn good, so I think I'd be too skinny even at 127. I say, get to a point where you're happy (most days!) with the way you look, screw what the scale says, screw what the tag on the clothes says. Those are just numbers. What's important is that you're healthy and happy.
