Why am I obsessed with my body and weight???

[warmsummersday]

Hi. I am 5ft 4inch and weigh 8 and a half stone. I have put on a couple of pounds over xmas.

I go to the gym 3 times a week and am running 5 miles twice a week (although have got an injury so not been running for a week). If I can't make it to the gym I beat myself up, same if I can't run.

I think I am fat and think I have fat bits, when really im not that bad.

I am now eating really healthy to try and loose a few pounds as want to be under 8 stone.

Is there something wrong with me? Am I mad?

Hello there - if you are, then so are half the female population!

I'm 5 feet and 8 and a half stone. That's heavy for me and my build. I beat myself up about it too. But in the grand scheme of things it's not that bad (BMI still healthy etc)

At least you're keeping fit going to the gym - I just talk about it

At 5 foot 4, I'd think your weight would be far from an issue. You sound fit and healthy to me - if you were under 8 stone, do you think you'd look too skinny?

This is something I think about lots of times a day but I've just eaten a load of jaffa cakes so obv don't care that much really!!!

thanks girls.

But part of me wants to be really skinny (mad I know!)

Im proud of myself because yes I am really fit and work hard for that plus have 2 small kids so I guess im not doing that badly!
