Always Pushing My Own Limits

[wrkalwyzinprgres]

Hi there! I’m tall and naturally athletic and I was extremely obese for quite some time. I’ve always had issues with my body image, however, only now (at 38 years old) am I mostly content. I struggle trying to out work myself and burn fat as quickly as possible which I know is hard on my metabolism. I can’t say I have a definitive eating disorder but it’s almost like someone having an expensive sports car and not knowing how to properly keep it up. I know I will get control but some days I really do struggle. I’m one of “those people” and my own aesthetics mean the world to me and I know sometimes that projects outward to cause others to feel self-conscious and I hate that I ever make someone feel bad about their own body because I sometimes struggle with mine.

I would say most people have issues with their body image. You are not intentionally wanting too hurt others feelings but you could be more mindful of how you respond to people or portray yourself if you really think it is making people feel bad and you wish to not do that. There is nothing wrong with wanting to look good but if it is effecting you in negative ways then you may want to make changes. Stay healthy.
