Who do you look up to?

Options
What celebrities or people you know personally, do you look up to? do they inspire you to get in shape, to love your body as it is?

I don't know anyone personally but for me Jennifer Lawrence, Kim Kardashian and Jennifer Lopez are the famous ladies I can relate to. They look so healthy and not stick skinny.

    As far as celebrities go: Kat Dennings, America Fererra, Sara Ramirez and Christina Hendrix. All women with curves (ranging between sizes 10 and 12 - exactly where I want to be), and very comfortable in their own skins despite the industry pressure to be super skinny.

    As far as celebrities go, Jennifer Lawrence is def someone I admire. She loves herself and is proud of it. In real life, one of my friends is an avid runner and I am quite envious of the progress she has made.

    Good examples! I love Christina Hendrix. She is gorgeous and those curves! I want to be that comfortable in my own skin.

    Celebrities don't impress me, really. My sister, however, is a STAR! I want to be more like her when I grow up.

    I look up to no one except myself. I honestly don't need to. Just the way I am I guess.

    In terms of celebrities, I admire Trent Reznor from Nine Inch Nails. But my real heroes are my parents. Financially responsible, madly in love after thirty years, and fit as fiddles in their fifties.

    I really admire The Hairy Bikers and Nadia Sawalha, who are all chefs. They have all lost weight and subsequently released "diet" recipe books, BUT its not your usual salads and such. Its hearty, gutsy filling meals just with the fat content lowered. Tomorrow I will be enjoying a chicken and vegetable stew with bacon and cider. But its healthy :happy:
    So yes, I look up to them because they didn't lose weight by starving themselves and exercising like demons, but by eating tasty filling meals and just being a bit more active :smile: And that is how I plan to lose weight
