[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Why is it that we are able to mentally accept that someone can be "naturally thin" but not that someone can be naturally chubby.........I'm not talking about overweight to the point it effects your abilities or life.............I'm talking about the people who are still active or workout (I know a lot of marathoners who are like this) but just do not have bodies that are skinny. they carry an extra 10-15 (maybe even 20?) pounds above what they would weigh if they were thin, and nothing shy of a constant strict battle would change that..........for some reason we don't accept this is possible- they MUST be making bad choices or eating too much of the good choices- yet we can accept people who are able to eat and DRINK poorly and stay "thin" with 3 workouts of 30 minutes on the elliptical as somehow their magic bullet?[/quote]

I think most of us accept this.  If this is who you are, good for you!  If you are happy and healthy and comfortable in your skin, that's awesome.  However, if you are 10-20 pounds above being thin, don't try to offer advice in a thread for someone who posts a question asking - and I quote, "What is your secret for staying thin?"  [/quote]

Its me. And I don't accept myself. I hate myself. I started my morning by secretly crying in the shower because the scale says I gained .5 pounds despite being on a strict diet (even over the holidays) and a renewed  dedication to training (not just 'working out' but really mixing it up).

And sometimes I wonder if the reason I hate myself isn't because I am inherently wrong but because everyone has told me I am nothing because I am not pretty/skinny (ie- its impossible for us to accept that this ok) [/quote]
