Hello, I have struggled with bulimia and self image problems in the past! I still do not have a great self esteem when it comes to my looks! But I had lost 50 about 2 years ago.....(some of it was done healthfully, some not!) I was overweight so i was still at a healthy weight! I felt very good about myself when i was at this weight! But I have gained about 20-25 pounds of it back! Which is taking a toll on my self image! What do you think would be the best way to healthfully lose the weight? I don't want to start out healthy and then slipping into bad habits again....I know eating right and exercising is the best way. But how do you make yourself continue down the good path and keep the good image up about yourself? It's super hard to not want to lose the weight faster by bad habits! I hope this makes sense....
Hope you can do some exercise that you really enjoy - even if its not particularly fat-burning exercise. Enjoying movement can help make you feel better about yourself! Stay away from anything drastic - either with your diet or with exercise and remember its perfectly normal not to look slim and stunning!
