Something that someone I know said in one of her posts has been resonating with me and I realized that over the last month-ish... I too no longer FEEL skinny.
I feel average. I'm still the same size, no change in my weight. But I think its my perception.
In Edmonton, people tended to be on the heavier side so I found myself (erroneously or not) comparing my body size in relation to theirs. Here in Vancouver, the population is largely Asian and as a rule, they tend to be rail thin. So now, I find myself comparing to their body size and I don't feel "fat" but I certainly don't feel like I'm among the slimmest.
Such a head game.
Oh sweetie, I can't say I know how you feel totally but I do get it. I am down below my goal weight and when people tell me how amazing I look I just say thank you. I don't believe them of course. I know my clothes are smaller, of course, but I'm certainly still "fat". Can't they see that? So I know. It is a head game and its a game I hope to win over soon cuz I want to see what everyone else sees. Keep up the good work.
