Everyone I know is so tremendously thin. Their Facebook pages are plastered with the most amazing pictures of themselves in teeny tiny bikinis. They look fabulous! They seem happy...I see lots of nice marriages, good parents, friendly, happy kids. And flat bellies and beautiful legs.
How do other women control their appetite? I can read the diet plans, but really...who can follow them?!? 3 oz of salmon, 1/2 C of brown rice and a nice salad. You have got to be kidding me! I can eat that and then sit down to a meal. My appetite is huge!
I am not jealous. I am not angry at myself. I do not have a negative self image. I am strong and happy. I run and exercise and eat decently. I just want to know how so many women are able to stay so very, very slim.
And yes, I know what a lot of you might say -- that I don't know what women are going through to keep weight off -- they may be bingeing and purging, they may be battling eating disorders. I just don't see it. I see healthy women, living active lives who all seems to be sporting size 2 jeans. I have seen eating disorders before and I don't see the signs in any of my friends.
Help me out here. My big pants are starting to taunt me.
