Body just never going to look how I want it

[aviewoftrees]

How do I make myself accept my body is never going to look how I want it to?

I'm a healthy BMI, I'm doing well at the gym, getting stronger, my lifestyle is healthier - but none of it is making me feel good because as much as I pretend I don't, I had an ideal body in my head that I'm starting to realise is never going to happen.

My skin is saggy (not overly but enough that it will always jiggle no matter how much weight I lose, no matter how much I tone up) and I just can't rid myself of that over the jeans bulge.

But I just can't let myself eat that Easter egg sitting on top of the cupboard because I've been trying to hard to get that body!!!

How do I change my mindset to that I'm happy about being healthy and strong and not obsess over the unachievable body?

Well I'd still resist the Easter egg to be honest. You buy clothes that fit and flatter you, even if that's a size bigger, and if it's a skin issue that will only get worse with more weightloss.

Almost everyone is dealing with this to lesser or larger degrees. I’d love to have longer legs but it’s never going to happen.

I agree binge eating an Easter egg won’t help. But no harm in eating it in sections at the weekend or something.
