    Not to presume but do you spend a lot of time on social media? Do you look around you at what other fit women look like IRL? I say this because I struggle myself against negative self-image even after having lost a lot of weight, and a big part of it is looking at social media and seeing these glow-y insta models whether I want to or not. That, and looking at strangers on the internet who are much skinnier than I am talking about how fat they feel... :pensive:

    This is so true. Remember that models and celebrities are photoshopped to smooth out their silhouette. Real life is different. Go online and look for pictures of celebrities and models from the 1950s before photoshopping existed, and before the 60s when most models looked like famine victims!

    Not fat at all. You look great. I'd definitely describe you as "thin". You stomach looks flat. Your calves look skinny.

    Thanks all for the advice. Before this, I mostly just run or do Zumba but I'll focus on lifting
