I lost 40 in the last 8 months with diet and exercise. Somehow when I look at myself I can only see my new flaws and the old ones that aren't perfect yet....I don't know how to change my image issues, I've reached my goal but I'm still not happy with my body. My original goal was to be the same size as my older skinny sister and even though I can wear her clothes now, I don't think I'm 'there' yet...any help would be great.

  1. its one of those things a lot of us go through. You never feel its enough and like you said we pick out other flaws. Try to remember when you feel a bit down that you did this also for your health. Keep working out and maybe change up your exercise routine and add some strength training to it if you haven't already, that will help tone and show a bit of muscle definition. Try not to be so hard on yourself and remember that you have accomplished a lot already


  2. 40 pounds in 8 months is great!! Celebrate your success by buying some new clothes that show off the new you.

    Remember everyone is shaped different so you may still not like some of your curves, but that is what makes you unique.

    Keep exercising as this will help tighten and tone some of the spots you are not happy with.

    And again, great job!!!!
