    It´s differnet.
    First: Look into the mirror and don´t like what I see
    Second: Feeling bad because I know I could do it better than this
    Third: My ex girlfriend is toned and muscled and I don´t want her to feel superior about me :devil:

    And alltogether: I want to be sexy if nude, strong as possible and healthy as much as I can be! :tongue:

    My family. To be honest I have a older sister who is a lot smaller than I am and Im always cast in her shadow. Im always being compared to her and sometimes it gets to me. I see that she wears clothes I want to wear but cant because they dont look nice on my body shape. My family loves me the way I am but I dont love myself. I'm also tired of being known as the "Fat" girl of the group, or being bullied because of my weight. I guess the main answer is I want to feel good about myself.
