15 girl usa/
ok so ive always been a little bit bigger than everyone else, but not much. Some girls say I look average, but i absolutely do not believe them. I weigh 165, and i am pretty active, and I eat pretty healthy. I swim on swim team, and the days i dont do that i work out for 45 mintues, and ride bikes and do work out videos. But lately I havent been motivated to lose weight like I did about 2 weeks, before sring break. I had lost about 5 lbs. and I can't seem to get on track with my diet. And to the truth, it's very odd tht im not motivated. Help?
thanks.
What you could do to help yourself, and to help yourself feel better..and this was always my mother's advice:
If you feel overweight: Always leave the table hungry.
If you feel underweight: Always take one more bite than you want to.
Good luck and remember: beauty is on the inside..I have known supermodel types and models that after I met them became completely and utterly ugly to me..and I have friends that are overweight, (some very much so) but because of their kindness and caring..I find absolutely and positively beautiful!! The best people and friends see not only with their eyes, but MOSTLY with their heart.
Don't let society deem your weight as "good" or "bad" (unless it begins to affect your health):
Remember that Marylin Monroe was considered the most beautiful woman in America in her time, and nowadays she would be considered quite chunky!

but most importantly remember this
as long as you are staying active, you feel good, your clothes fit, etc, you shouldnt worry about the number on the scale. i have struggled with this personally and i happen to be a 145 pound ballet dancer lol. as long as you feel good and youre staying active youre good to go and numbers are just numbers
:)
(ps- this might be kinda stupid but when im feeling fat i watch tv shows about morbidly obese ppl and then i look at myself and im like wow im glad im not that. hahahahhahaha jk) [ bluejeanbaby's advice column | Ask bluejeanbaby A Question ]
