Seriously you look great. But I also know it's about how YOU feel in YOUR body and when you're not happy, it messes with your flow. Do what makes you happy - work out, eat healthy, enjoy a cocktail, don't starve yourself and love what you see in the mirror!Katie @ yellowmangolife.blogspot.comhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02018898623054101209noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1948996795445562989.post-55214845761998935042014-05-05T21:50:48.653-04:002014-05-05T21:50:48.653-04:00you just put into words the struggle i've had ...you just put into words the struggle i've had my WHOLE life. I've always been the tall but not very thin girl. i know I"m not fat but I'm "bigger-boned" and if I work out, I gain muscle, I don't gain weight. I am right there with you girl...learning to accept myself as who God made me to be...which is not a size 2, 112 lbs ;) Love you!

Loving my body is something that I'm just always going to be working on. Just know that you are not alone in that awful self loathing that others may not understand when looking at you.

If we're muscular, we wish we were thinner. If we're thin, we wish we had more muscles. The list goes on. I, too, have been feeling like I need to do a LOT better in the toning up department. I am nowhere near as cut as you are, but seeing you motivates me to do better for sure!:) Just remember, you were made in His image - which is perfect! It's never bad to strive to be better, but remember you are already beautiful!Jessicahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13627885797946156939noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1948996795445562989.post-81359016604010146362014-05-01T13:58:24.017-04:002014-05-01T13:58:24.017-04:00the chase for perfection is hard sometimes. and du...the chase for perfection is hard sometimes. and dumb. what is not dumb is the feeling of being unhappy with your own body. that is never a fun feeling.

It is always "I will feel better when _____" and that is no way to view yourself. Of course, I think you are gorgeous.

I think you look amazing and beautiful and TONED!!! Your arms are always really toned and that makes me jealous! haha. <br />But I do know exactly what you mean...people say that to me all the time just because I'm a "small person". I'm 5'1'' and I wear a size 4....but that doesn't mean this size 4 body isn't flabby, has belly rolls & jiggly thighs!! (I'm good at hiding these flaws in cute winter clothes too!)

I think its the fact of life these days, that we are 31 and not 20-something. I noticed my body changing drastically when I hit 30, like hips widening, slower metabolism, gushy middle and no matter what I do, eat, lift, i can't seem to get the middle flat and the love handles, well gone. The best part though, is you know you are healthy and strong and not complaining per se, just not satisfied and that's ok, just don;t let it become an obsession and come before what is truly important. Its easy to put something like that on a pedestal and worship it, instead of Him. pray. xoxo, alwaysLynn | Motherhood in Motionhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05383417201692605033noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1948996795445562989.post-4527244377501909482014-05-01T08:14:57.967-04:002014-05-01T08:14:57.967-04:00Just do whatever you feel like you need to do in o...Just do whatever you feel like you need to do in order to see the changes that you want.
