For about a week now I have been cutting back on junk food. It seems to be working however, I have never really followed through with any sort of diet plan/ lifestyle change. The reason being the fact that I am highly addicted to flavor. Food flavor stands at the top of the list. Currently, I weigh 205 lbs. and stand at 5 ft. 6 in. . Most of the weight is in my breasts, stomach, thighs and upper arms. I suppose the part that should bother me most is my stomach (and it does every now and then). However, I have learned how to hide it with clothing, making me look rather lean. What I cannot hide is my upper arms. I feel so broad, because my arm fat makes my upper body look large. I can be standing next to someone larger than myself and if we are in front of a upper-body, half mirror i look BIGGER! This bothers me. It also bothers me that during the summer, I can never bring myself to wear tank tops or summer dresses.
I am learning to deal with these psychological/body image issues slowly. My relationship with food is becoming better by the day. It is a difficult journey to lose weight! But it is something that will pay off in the end.
Join me on my journey and we can support each other!!!
