Does anyone else feel like they're betraying their curves when they try and lose weight? I have been working out for about 2 weeks now, and it kind of makes me feel guilty.I love being a big girl, but I feel like it's gone too far, and I'm no longer healthy. It took me years to love who I was, and now I feel like I'm back to hating myself only this

I don't because even when i was in high school at a size 6, i still had big boobs, and large hips for my size.... I'll never be that small again because i'm now 4 inches taller and my hip bones are wider.

Some stuff physically you CANT change by loosing weight- hip size, bone structure, but you CAN work out and be healthy- its better to be a little overweight, and get exercise daily, than a size 0 and never grace the inside of a gym.

when i'm done having my baby, i'm going to big time go for dieting and exercise- there are some health issues that cropped up JUST before baby was concieved, and weightloss will HELP them- and my parents as much as I love them, are bigger , and if I inherit both sets of their problems, i'm in for a world of hurt in about 20 years unless I loose about 50-70 lbs.

You're actively trying to lose weight because you don't feel healthy anymore, and there's nothing wrong with that! Losing some weight for your health doesn't mean, to me, that you don't love your body. It just means that you understand yourself and you're trying to keep your body healthy.

I think there's a huge difference between losing weight to be thin and losing weight to be healthy, and I think the latter shows how comfortable you are with yourself... but that's just my opinion. =)

Well I do want to be thinner, but just not too thin. My goal weight is still about 20 pounds over weight and I'm not sure if I want to be there even,but even though I really decided to do it when it began to feel unhealthy, I do keep thinking how nice it will be when I look thinner, and can wear smaller clothes. That's probably why I'm mad at myself, I never knew I would be one of those people who thought she would look better skinnier.

when you say your goal is weight is 20 pounds overweight...overweight WHAT? over the charts? cause, the charts are not necessarily correct. In fact, in terms of eventual adult survival, they have recently found that people with padding are more likely to survive little things like bouts with cancer....so don't worry about it.

Yes, it will be nice to wear smaller clothes -- but it will be very nice to be healhier.

yeah over what they say my ideal weight is, I know that's not something I should rely on, but I think of it that way because I know I'll still have some curves at that weight.

Whose body are you living in? I wouldn't say you love yourself any less by trying to make your self comfortable in your own skin! No matter what 'shape' we have to deal with, (i.e., tall, short, apple, pear) sometimes we reach a point where you would like to change it. Honey, it's yours. It seems to me like you're doing a healthy loving thing for yourself. (((Hugs)))
