Not sure if there's already a thread going....but was hoping there were others here.
I am "curvy". I am 5'7, 171 lbs and TIRED of being obsessed with caloric intake and scale numbers, I want to embrace and be happy with my body how it is today.
I just finished a weight loss escapade. It was horrible. As soon as my kids were asleep I didn't want anyone to bug me, I wanted to plan out my next day meals perfectly in terms of calories etc, or work out. If I wasn't planning meals or working out I was with my kids, so no time with my husband. I would punish myself if I went over in calories, I wouldn't go to certain events because I didn't want to eat certain foods.
I just want to embarace and enjoy who I am today. Personally, I like my body....but I know society is more in tune with slim females, so that's how I wanted to be. I wanted society to accept me. But why???? Why not like myself?
So this is my journey, to enjoy myself! I will eat what I want to eat, but try and embrace healthier eating for my health. I will exercise when I want to exercise by doign the things I enjoy (bike riding, hiking, playing with my kids) because I ENJOY doing those things, not because I have to.
Who is with me? Who enjoys being large and in charge
