Body image is something I've struggled with. It seems to be hitting me again full force. I know logically I'm not obese or grossly overweight. Could I stand to loose a few pounds. Probably, but it's not more than maybe 5 to 10 pounds. What I see when I look in the mirror is not what's really there.
I'm in no danger of becoming anorexic or bulemic, but I don't like what I see. It really depresses me and that leads to a spiral that takes me a day or two to get out of. Thank goodness I've gone through IC to help deal with issues and I have the tools necessary to cope with that. It still something I am struggling with.
What I have problems with is when I eat anything that isn't healthy, I feel guilty. If I don't do some sort of exercise everyday I feel guilty again. It's something I work through everyday. Now, I have to balance my love of chocolate, pizza, wings, and beer with my guilt. I am doing a good job of that and I have to stay on top of it. It's a battle that I will probably be dealing with the rest of my life, but as long as I'm aware of it and keep on top of it I know I will be okay.
