About once a month I have to fight the "I think I need to lose weight" battle. It's so hard! David is great and tells me I'm beautiful the way I am, but even though I'm a healthy size and weight I am 20 pounds heavier than when we met (of course when we met I wouldn't consider myself healthy). I think "if I could only lose 10 pounds...." But when it comes down to it I'm an eater and don't want to do what it would take to lose weight. And I don't really have the motivation. What would I gain by losing ten pounds? Not much. Even 20 pounds ago I wasn't satisfied with my body. Once again I have to remind myself that the key is to live a realistically healthy lifestyle, and then accept my body as it is. There are far more important things to stress about than whether or not I would look good in a bikini (which I would NEVER wear anyway!).
It might be nice to lose ten pounds though....

I always battle this...I'm better now than growing up, but I hate to stress about it. I just have a certain number on the scale, that when I hit, I try to watch what I eat until it goes back down. But I hate to feel like I'm living for the scale and that dreaded number that determines my diet for the day. On the other hand, it has kept me at a healthy weight. This is a hard one...
i hear you! how did you manage to describe me and my weight loss issues so perfectly? i try not to think about those 10 pounds i need to lose. but i like eating cookies for breakfast, so i can't really expect those pounds to fly off. i have really started enjoying my time at the gym, though. so maybe that will make up for the cookies. at least that is what i am hoping.
