Body acceptance

Hi guys

So day 3 of the blog challenge! 

The question today was 'your opinion about your body and how comfortable you are with it' In all honesty It's a good question. I've never really been happy with what I look like. 

When I was in school I was ridiculously skinny but I always thought I was fat, I did my best to eat as little as possible and I was very into running so I burned so many calories. I looked unhealthy. Over the years I stopped caring and just ate instead, it started to take hold when I was 16 and I started gaining so much weight. I tried to work out and eat right but I just wasn't motivated enough. 

Of course being in relationships makes you gain weight when you get comfortable as well. I'm not unhappy with my body now, I would love to be healthy and fit but I'm not focused on my weight any more. 

I did a post previously talking about my fitness goals and only now realised how much I need to actually do them. But don't for one second think I will be giving up chicken wings! No thanks I love them too much. But it's time I made a change and not just talking about it, not for vanity; Not only is it to be healthier physically but mentally as well, maybe I can turn it into some weird form of therapy? 

We'll see how it all goes :) 
Until next time guys ^^

When I was younger I was also really skinny but then when I got into my late teens my body decided to store whatever I ate! and like you say, relationships make you complacent too! I've joined Slimming World to try and combat my gains but I also need to up the exercise. Best of luck with yours!

It's so important to feel confident and comfortable in your own skin. I'm glad you feel less focused on your weight now.

Is anyone happy with their body shape? I try to eat healthily and embrace my shape!

After having two babies and being in a comfortable relationship, the weight pilled on! I definitely need to get some motivation!

Learning to love your body is hard. I'm 30 and only recently started loving the skin I'm in. Sending you love on your journey.

I take exactly the same approach as you when it comes to this: I've upped my exercise because I feel so much better about myself when I do exercise, but I've kept my eating habits the same because I LOVE food!

Great post - I am trying to help my daughters accept their beautiful bodies - I am more comfortable now than ever but it has taken years. Kaz
