I eat around 6 eggs a day and cholesterol levels are spot on. | |||

I think if I eat rubbish and don't exercise then my body reflects that. It is a tangible reminder that I need to make changes. It also seems more rewarding when I get fit again as I can see the difference. The goal for you should be to not eat rubbish when you feel rubbish. Exercise is cathartic where as eating is not. Try making a shift in habit | |||

Didn't encourage anybody to eat themselves to death? I only stated that there is no miracle cure sold by some Instagram influencer. Only making better healthier lifestyle choices. | |||

"Looking forward to getting bigger this year. Just working out how to do it on a budget!!" Biggest money saving tip someone gave me was just to buy extra large chickens, cook them, shred them and use them in my meals, salads and wraps for my lunch at work. And you can get these breakfast drinks in Asda that have 20 grams of protein in each, that are 5 for £4. I love doing diet plans if anyone wants some ideas or help, please feel free to get in touch. (I’m already doing four for people in the office, haha) | |||

"I love myself and my body (most of the time). It doesn't mean I don't want to continue losing weight for health reasons - it's a lifestyle and mentality change for me and it's ongoing. I want to be fitter and be able to wear what I want and feel more positive about who I am. But for now, it's Christmas and I'm enjoying relaxing and eating the small mountain of delicious cheeses we have in.

That's very kind of you. As do you! Fantastic legs! I think my pictures are pretty accurate but I'm slightly on the tall side and I think that makes me appear a bit slimmer. My waist is also a dress size smaller than the rest of me. I was once contacted on a dating site by a guy who specified his absolute maximum preference was a size 12 and I'm a 12/14. There's also the fact that stood upright is one thing but if you're doing the dirty with someone you're sometimes a bit more scrunched up and that's not quite so flattering . | |||

Like I started watching a chrus Hemsworth workout before I realised I didn't have a private gym to myself... However, people being slimmer generally means they're healthier, if done correctly of course. I agree with the media promoting healthy eating and people being slimmer because it is how our bodies are supposed to be. I think we should always love ourselves and our bodies but not if it makes us delusional. Fat is not healthy and it is not you at you optimum. Whether you are happy like it or not you should objectively be able to look at yourself and know that changes are needed. Not preaching here, just my mindset so I keep myself thin | |||

Having a wobble at the moment, just need to get back into my routine again. I hope your wobble passes soon. One thing that I found helped me was shifting my focus to health over aesthetics. Eating a better diet makes me feel better and less bloated and lifting weights in the gym makes me love my body for what it can achieve and I'm proud of the progress it makes. This is exactly what I do when I'm in a healthy mindset. Just need to get back to it. The hills near me are my goal. Though should start thinking about lifting again fell out of that routine. " Best of luck to you and a healthier and happier 2020! | |||

"I started losing weight and looking "thin enough" when I started to accept and love myself. It became easier. Seek happiness, lasting happiness, not an image. The health thing may yet come as a result. Love yourself. Don't listen to those who want to put you down, even if they wrap it up in fear mongering about your health. "  | |||

"It's all about that unfashionable thing called personal responsibility. Being overweight is a choice." It is in a way unless it’s medical. I’m overweight but I can do something about it and I will. Many people are happy overweight. I’m not, although I’ll never want to be slim but I know what I’m happy at. Some things you can’t change. Your weight you usually can. | |||

I'm not overweight but as I've mentioned above I still get affected by the things the OP refers to, as do many other people who are not overweight. Surely that in itself shows how unhealthy they are. | |||

It's not a bad attitude or being unkind, it's just a biological fact." really?? my self esteem is on the floor. I cannot look at myself in the mirror, i have no recent photos as i cant bear what i see. my weight is NOT my choice I was always very slim.
