A lot of people feel like this and just assume it's how you're supposed to feel, rather than taking steps to overcome it and not pass it on.

When it comes to weight I think it's important to keep the obsession a secret from your kids....especially girls. There is too much negative pressure in the world already!<br /><br />One of my quirks is that I *always* have to have at least one project going. My mind never stops.

I always lost weight after my pregnancies until I had my last two, then I was diagnosed with a thyroid disease. Now it is very difficult for me to lose weight! But guess what, I feel more content and at peace with my size than I ever did when I was at 110 lbs. How strange is that?

It's so easy to become slave to the scale.

I can obsess about this, too, but I'm working at just living, making healthy food choices and exercising, and loving all of me, not just my pants size.Mary Aalgaardhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08051735579638637382noreply@blogger.com
