had one of those days today that i cried over a fitness models picture on pinterest. I'm never going to have that narrow lightly muscled i look perfect in anything i throw on body. I'm to big broad hips wide rib cage. Had this crushing feeling Ill always take up to much space and never be wanted because of it

    Two things:

    1. Those fitness models are wildly photoshopped most of the time. There are threads on here where real MFP members post their "fitspiration," I suggest you look that up and see all the lovely, non-photoshopped women on MFP (all different sizes, too) and use that as inspiration.

    2. There is absolutely nothing wrong with having broad hips and a wide rib cage. Nothing. That is your natural body shape and it will never change. Find a way to love it! It is no more or less legitimate than women who have narrow hips and small rib cages. Just keep making progress to make yourself feel better! :flowerforyou:

    Here is the thread I was referring to in my first post. Really incredible MFP'ers on here!

    I realize that I have NO curves, at least not the good kind. I'm literally shaped like a cereal box. It is what it is. Hopefully I have other assets that work in my favor. No use beating yourself up over things you can't change.

    Out - I was hoping for a chocolate bunny joke since they are technically "hopless" but oh... yeah... Pinterest is the worst thing to happen to women in forever

    We are all beautiful in our own ways. The best thing you can wear is a layer of confidence and the rest will fall into place. I am far from perfect, being called a Fat Cow, but confident, I have gone to total nude beaches and smiled. I hope you have better day tomorrow, I know I need a better one for sure.

    I've been called all kinds of names because of how fat I am but another person's opinion doesn't influence my life. I'm losing weight because *I* want to and because I love myself to make myself better. Probably one of the best things I have ever done for myself too!
