There was a time when I would have been happy to say that my weight wasn't an issue for me. I was fine the size I was, and damn the world for making me even think I had to be a size zero clothes horse anorexic skeleton to be attractive or fit. Then I had my son, and being unable to keep up with him, unable to catch him if he ran, and he does run even now, became a liability.
Not to mention, my health is suffering. So, I made the decision to go ahead and change the little things in my diet that could help me to lose weight, and it's working. No starvation, no suffering (apart from the fact that I'm sick as hell right now with tonsillitis), and no weighing and measuring. Just a few simple changes to what I eat.
And yeah, Mika's song does give me a reason to smile, I'm never going to be a sylph, I wouldn't feel like me, and I would be uncomfortable being that way. I guess if other people find me attractive, they can't all be blind or stupid, so maybe I am. And that's now. Oh yes, I have the low self-esteem thing in spades, er, JCB digger buckets....
As for the hopping and skipping and dancing? Ooooh, careful, all that exercise will make you skinny.....
