fat girl syndrome
its funny, but I am very very critical of girls in magazines. I look and see what they put in there and decide if it is a bad or good bodyimage. Its weird, thin girls are too thin these days, someone told me the girl in the wellness magazine was “fit” and I asked him what fit is? Is fit thin? to me fit is being thin and having some muscle tone. Saying the girls in victoria secret are fit is a joke, they are thin. When I read a article on how the feature model worked out I thought really, thats not working out, saying you don’t want muscle and just want to be thin is bad in my opinion as well. We lose 5% of our muscles as we age. Just from aging, if you do moderate exercise with heavy weights you will not bulk up unless you are using suplements that all for the bulkyness. Women are just not built that way. When I read things like I lost 100 pounds and iwent from a 22 to a size 0 I often wonder how its possible. I’ve lost over 100 pounds and will probably never reach a size 4. I could hope for a size 6 and mb a size 4 after some surgery but would I really be happy. Probably not. I want to be able to stand strong well into my old age and have the muscle in my body to support myself. I don’t want to be a frail elderly woman that cannot take care of herself.
The reason I call this post fat girl syndrome is because, even though i am half the person I was before I still compare myself to my friends and get jealous when they lose weight. Or look great in something. It drives me crazy. My brain still goes through the thoughts of why can’t I look that great. Or why does not fit me properly, i just need to lose another 5 poun ds and ill be happy. Ect. Does it ever go away? I sure as hell hope so, and with the weight training I do I will never be a tiny cute petite girl I have to remember that I’m much taller than most women and built sturdy. Get over it girl!!
