What's your idea of perfection?

I wish that I could lose 30 pounds overnight but I know that no matter what, it's just not possible. I know that every month flies by and that in three months I could be thin, fit, happy, healthy. But it's not even so much the determination. I mean, I guess that has to do with A LOOOOT of it but I just wish I could snap my fingers, but don't we all. When I start eating healthy and working out that's when I feel the fattest, believe it or not. I feel jealous of everyone around me that's thin. My boyfriend has six pack abs and I have a gut the size of the moon. Al though he thinks I'm beautiful, he claims he "likes" my body but I know that isn't the truth. He's trying to make me feel good about myself. Some guys try to talk to me so I must not be ugly but I want to be closer to perfection. Not even perfection but perfection in my eyes. What's your idea of perfection?

    For me, it's not even about size. I wanna be toned and tight. I lost a lot of weight fast and the skin is just not budging. It makes me feel bigger and heavier. It's hard to find pants because of the skin flap that is left behind...most of my weight was in my middle...now, it's mostly in my thighs and butt. lol. Anyways, my bf calls me thick and I hate that. A friend said that doesn't mean fat but it means nice hips and butt...thick is just not a good word..it's negative and upsets me. I'm afraid to tell him that though. I take it as a compliment and keep going. I wanna see abs defined and muscle tone not loose skin that hangs...sorry if this is TMI but for me, perfection is being able to see my body without the excess skin...thanks for posting this and I hope you see some motivation and get support on here. I am always here if you need me. Just inbox me. :)

    For me, perfection isn't about weight, or size for that matter. It's about how I feel. Sure, I would love to weigh 145 lbs. and eventually (hopefully) I'll get there. It's more important to me to feel strong and look toned. I would much rather weigh 160 if I was toned than weigh 145 and still "smushy."

    If you get discouraged, try taking the focus off the scale and look at your change in measurements and other NSVs.
