me and my body

I must say that I am not a chubby girl. I am maybe short, but with a proper BMI. When I was little I used to be a gymnast. I was insanely underweight and that's how I know myself half my life. At the age of 14-15, I started to grow up, to be a woman. But I did not like the way it looked. Because I exercised my arms were always muscular and not as thin as those girls my age. my boyfriend I had at the time, remarked to me that my hands were fat (!!!) and till this day the part of my body that I love the least is my arms. That's where the problems with my body started. I wanted to have space between my thighs but my pelvis structure does not allow it. It cannot be changed. I would take pictures in weird poses to make it look like I have. My sister and I would check who has more space between the thighs, who has smaller breasts, who has smaller hips. It was disgusting. Today, they all need a wide pelvis, a slim waist, a flat stomach with some line in the middle ... it's an irrational race for a body that can not be achieved. because you got a body, your body, and it's perfect as it is.

My ex would comment on my body a lot... Now he is free to find a supermodel with no hair and no fat at least.

If he wants to find a supermodel with no hair, he must ideally get a bald one too

This is futile. Those who chase behind that never get a moment's peace I guess.

Rightly said in the end. Don't worry too much. Nothing is permanent. With age there are going to be many changes in your body ahead too. You need to accept it. Have a good day

I think it's unhealthy too be too thin. My daughter is obsessed with working out and losing weight. She is super thin. It concerns and worries me.
