How to adjust body-image?

[Anonymous]

I went from 137lbs to 114 (5'8), due to working out and clean eating. My measurements are 34-24-34, rationally I know this can't be 'big'. But I do still perceive myself as big. When I see someone with the same measurements I would think I'm 10x bigger or when I'm buying clothes and don't check the size I always grab 6 sizes too big... This might sound a stupid problem, but Some people start thinking that I'm anorexic and I'm afraid if I don't change my body-image I might get it. Because I've a hard time changing my exercise routine/ eating habits although I know I'll keep losing weight if I don't change it. Which on one hand I know isn't healthy but on the other if I change it I feel fat and guilty :s

you sound beautiful! I think it is all about being happy with yourself, and if this is where you feel good, embrace it:)

But it does sound like you aren't happy, and I totally get where you are coming from, it took me long time to get to the point where I was satisfied.. I used to be 100 pounds (eating disorder) and I still felt the way you do now, once I felt good, I gained some weight, but I have never felt as good as now at 127 pounds, I would suggest that you seek some help, its better to be safe than sorry! good luck:)

Take group pictures and compare yourself to other people in the picture! That should cure you of thinking you're big!

You might want to sign on to a scientific diet plan so that you are sure to stop losing weight! You're nearly anorexic now and you don't have far to go to get there.

I think Weight Watchers could design a diet for you that would halt your weight loss in its tracks.

34-24-34 is fantastic. Pretty much ideal. Unfortunately, most people are very self-conscious. Trust me, you're fine. If you can maintain that weight you'll be doing great.
