My weight has been a constant battle my whole life. I'm not morbidly obese, in fact I don't even think I qualify for being overweight...but EVERY DAY I feel SO FAT. I'm an athlete so I need to eat a lot, but I feel like I'm just getting fatter on top of the muscle I have from working out. My boyfriend is a cross country runner and is extremely lean. I've tried starving myself but I just love food too much. I CAN'T EVEN STARVE MYSELF. For a brief period I was purging, but it was too much of a hassle. This battle is constant in my mind.
I understand that body image is certainly a common problem amongst girls but that doesn't make me feel any better...WHY WON'T I JUST ACCEPT MY BODY FOR THE WAY IT IS?
