It makes me so sad when reading about peopleo s weight loss accomplishments and seeing that they are losing weight in such unhealthy ways. Not eating enough is just as bad as eating too much. Youo re body is in just as bad a shape if you starve it as when you over indulge. Being stick thin because you think people will like you more is not something you should strive for, being someone elseo s idea of o hoto is not something you should strive for. Being content with yourself and achieving something you worked hard at is something to be proud of. I feel like these actions sully good feelings towards people who have lost weight in a healthy way- people will always be inclined to thinking youo ve lost your weight through severe methods.

No one will be as happy for you as you will be, and knowing youo ve done your body a service is just one thing you should feel amazing about, not to mention the self confidence that will grow inside of you as you overcome your own personal barriers. Weight loss is a challenge, because at every turn people expect you to fail. Fuck them. By the time you reach your goal, youo ll be stronger, healthier, and happier than them anyways.
