Motivation	Is anyone fearful of weight loss/ new body image?	Jan 05 2007 16:09 (UTC)	13
Well, yeah, it happens sometimes. I'm afraid I won't know myself if I get all thin like. I don't worry about guys so much, although it drives me nuts that I feel like most guys give themselves permission to approve/disapprove of my body, but being fat is a defense. I can say to myself, oh, well, if I were thin I would knock everybody out, but that's probably not true. To me, being fat/thin isn't like a moral issue like a lot of people think it is, and I know from personal experience that being fat is only limiting in people's minds. If you don't "act" fat... you get a lot more positive attention. But I am tired of being fat. I want to know what I would look like thin. I want to be fit. I signed up for a 10K and I'm resolved to not walk any part of it. I have a ton of health issues and I'll bet all my money that if I lost 80 pounds most of them would get up and walk away. But I still can't imagine myself like 120 pounds... who would that even be? wrkit, you sound pretty sure that you'll always need to fix something about yourself. Sometimes that's good, and sometimes it ain't, and only you know which one you're doing. Just remember: everyone falls down and needs a little help sometimes. Perfection is not just not attainable, it's not even worth attaining. Trust me. I've been there.
