Have you ever been at the point? (weight related)
Where you just want to say f*ck it? I'm SO tired of obsessing, dieting, feeling guilty when I skip a day at the gym or want to eat pizza. A size 8 isn't even BIG, so why can't I just calm down and live life without mentally calculating how many points everything is worth? UGH.

Yes. It's called getting pregnant. I don't care about having more kids, but I do love eating with reckless abandon.

I have never either. I've always been comfortable where I am at, be it a size 8 15 years ago (right out of college) or a size 14 now. I would like to find a happy medium, but its not as easy now with 2 kids and a life.

She said she has never NOT obsessed. I wish I was like you! I wish I could be happy, but the grass is always greener in the size 6 section. Or size 4.

Re: Have you ever been at the point? (weight related)
I constantly think about what I am eating, and I hate it. I just want to eat something and not feel guilty later!!

Re: Have you ever been at the point? (weight related)
And I was hoping after the wedding I'd be more focused on being healthy and not being a certain size to fit into my dress  guess not?

Seriously, I was thinking the EXACT same thing!!
If you want, we can trade bodies... I'll be happy with yours and you can obsess over having mine and make it like yours!!!

Seriously, if that is you, you look amazing!!
But, I bet all of us are extremely hard on ourselves about the way we look. People can tell you that you look great until they are blue in the face, but it doesn't change the way you think about yourself and how you view yourself in the mirror.
THis is a daily struggle for me, and I would give anything to make it end!!!

I totally understand! Sometimes I feel like I look ok at home, and then I look in the mirror at work and think ugh.

Re: Have you ever been at the point? (weight related)
i have trouble focuing on the # on the scale, because i have been the same weight pretty much since high school - but i know my body shape is very different. so i generally decide whether or not i am "satisfied" with the way i look by how my clothes fit.
i usually fluctuate between a size 6-8 on top and a 4-6 on bottom (although i know after i have this baby and go back to my pre-pregnancy weight there is a good chance i will have "spread" on bottom). as long as i fit nicely in those clothes, i am happy. would i love to be a size 2? maybe, but i can't spend too much time focusing on that, because then i wouldn't get to eat all the foods i love and drink all the wine i can get my hands on

Re: Have you ever been at the point? (weight related)
Mentally I WANT to be there, but psychologically I'm preventing myself from being there for some reason. I always think, "If I could just lose ten pounds... blah blah blah"

Re: Have you ever been at the point? (weight related)
GREAT thread Heather.
I'm a size 12 and have been for years. I was as high as a 16 but lost that weight and have kept it off. Im pretty happy where I am and tell DH "you can have a wife that sits around and drinks beers and eats delicious meals with you or you can have a skinny minnie"
I hope this doesn't sound mean...Whenever I think "ok, I really should try to get down a size or two", I look on these boards at the girls obsessing over points, meetings, etc. and it puts me in my place, I no longer think losing 10 more pounds sounds like a good idea.
Counting, measuring, and obsessing is something that sucks the pure joy out of something I love.. food!
So I watch portion sizes, try to have good days and bad days, and just enjoy being a plain ol' size 12. Don't get me wrong, Im happy when I lose a few points and my clothes fit better, but I can't obsess over it, life is too short.
....Not to mention when i get knocked up I know my body is going to go to he ll anyway

Re: Have you ever been at the point? (weight related)
Every few months or so I reach the f*ck it point but I don't stop obsessing.
I don't remember a time in my life where I wasn't on a diet.
Rational me knows that I'm not fat and that I actually look great - but Irrational me is usually doing most of the thinking when it comes to my body.

Re: Have you ever been at the point? (weight related)
thats me w/calories and I'm a size 6  it s&cks. I'm small framed but I got plenty of meat on me.
Advice I've gotten from "skinny minnies" is that I probably just don't want it bad enough (being thinner/toned). And its true...I enjoy drinking (when I'm not preggo) and I enjoy my ice cream, cookies and candy waaay too much to be any thinner. Oh well, I'll hold onto the extra 10-15lbs and enjoy life....and then feel fat and guilty after
