(Update 1-18-13:) I've gained WAY too much weight and I only have myself to blame. (True I AM on meds that cause weight gain, but that doesn't compare to my 3,000 calorie a day diet.) I've accepted the fact that at 5'8", I will never be at 125 pounds and 12% body fat again. However, at 160+ I am NOT at all happy. I am aiming for around 140, and am really working on starting to exercise again and not pigging out on everything I see.

I was 149 pounds when I entered a VERY emotionally (and physically) abusive relationship in 2006. During the following three years, I battled anorexia (as a direct result of him...) I didn't think i was too skinny, I actually enjoyed that weight, but I was also eating under 500 calories a day, and new it was unhealthy.

Now, I am sitting happily at 125 ish with a ton of muscle definition, and actually eating! I belong to Snap Fitness and I LOVE hiking and walking outside.

I still have TONS of body image issues, which are SLOWLY getting a little better. I do, however, feel so much happier, exercising and eating healthily.

Ok, so maybe it still doesn't quite compare, but yesterday it was raining and, like, 47*. I am bundled up in anything under 60, so my jeans, boots, and sweater weren't cutting it. I'm a spoiled wimp when it comes to cold. it's why I live here and not there. Haha!

Have you thought about doing a vision board, then? Make something with pictures and words that you will look at each day to help motivate you? What have you done in the past to motivate yourself that has worked?

I totally get where you're coming from with the comments too. When I did figure competitions people would make them all the time. Pay no mind. Your opinion (and maybe Jo's bit he's easy) is the only one that matters. Nobody else has to deal with your internal monologues and self image, right? Do what makes YOU feel healthy.
