      I figured it out pretty soon near the top. Isn't it insane how hard we are on ourselves? I'm so glad there are people on here who get all that stuff. I'm so glad this site isn't just a simple cut and dried numbers game. I'm so glad that even though I still look like this I can relate to someone who looks like that. It makes me feel like I am on the right track and not all alone in this.

      GOSH, so many women on here already, and we're all doing this to ourselves!

      Here's a lady who does it to herself, too -- and she found a beautiful way to try to work it out, for all of us:

      Thank you, to everyone for reading this, and for your responses.
      To those who do what I do... I feel and understand your pain.

      To those who don't do what I do... I envy and admire you. No matter where you are on the fitness path - you have achieved that which is hardest, and there is nothing that can stop you from getting the rest.

      Wow. Women sure beat themselves up a lot. In my experience, 99.9% of it is unwarranted. I wish women could see what we men see. We aren't as shallow as commercials make us out to be. The media's definition of "beautiful" is far from what we actually think is beautiful.

      **deep bow to the guys out there, most of whom think like ^^^this guy, including my husband** Yep. :heart: :heart: Sometimes I wish you guys were inside our heads b***-slapping that other voice.

      I've said it before... but I love you. I really needed to read this ... and read and reread before bed. This is exactly what I sound like every day - in spite of evidence to the contrary. I know things are really tough on me right now, but that's no excuse. All the more reason to be that much more kind to myself. Thank you again for being such a beautiful inspiration.

      I was about to tell you that you need to change your caliber of friends until I saw it was you. LOL
      I think we're all guilty of that.

      Thanks for posting !!! I was reading and thought WOW what a **** I would have punched her out ... kept reading & realize how right you are, we treat & see ourselfs in such a negative light most of the time... never good enough.

      For me, being positive is still a work in progress, but glad to see I am not the only one.

      Funny, I work with the same person. I wonder if they're related??

      (Good thing my kids don't come to work with me, though, and never see it.)

      Thank you for sharing this. I soooooo relate.

      It's fascinating to me the self-talk we allow that we'd never tolerate from another person. There is someone who is trying to destroy me from the inside out. My self-esteem is shot. My body image is ridiculously distorted, and all I see is what's wrong. And the horrible things I say to myself would shock those who know me. If someone said to me what I say to me, I would blow a gasket and send them packing.

      But what do I do when the enemy is me?

      This was a real wake up call for me. Thank you.

      Amazing. Perfect reminder that we are our own worst critic and we are wayyy too hard on ourselves and we need to ease up and see the positive side of things!

      I was starting to feel outraged and defensive and shocked for you...then I realised what you were getting at. Great post! Xx

      A lot of men seem to have completely opposite self-perception issues. Wonder where the divergence occurs.
