So I have gotten down to 22% body fat, I weigh 125 now, and I have more muscle on my body which I love. But I still find it hard to accept the rolls I see when I sit down. I look online seeing pictures of "perfect bodies" and I look at mine and definitely don't see anything perfect. I am thin but... I just don't know how to love what I have. I have pudge on my lower stomach and I am trying to get rid of it, but I want to love myself as well along the way. Any advice? Because I really need some.

    22% body fat isn't fat. You're a normal weight.

    I want to know how to accept it though. I mean, I can't help but think since my tummy isn't toned and tight, I'm not beautiful.

    Please see a doctor or therapist. You may have body dysmorphic disorder—meaning you're obsessed with imaginary imperfections.

    I haven't seen every person that ever lived sit down, but I think the vast majority of people have some kind of roll when they sit down. When you stand it's stretched out and when you sit it's bunched up. You can't base your self worth on a comparison with photos on the internet.

    Focus more on being healthy and the best you that you can be. Nobody thinks they have a perfect body!
