...Maybe Im just lazy. I hate to say it, but I think that's my problem. I would like to be healthy and I know exercising helps relieve stress, helps you sleep better etc etc.. I know because Ive done it, and it helped. But I keep saying I want to start again, and I never do. I plan on when Im going to do it, and what Im going to eat, but that day never comes. I just don't do it. But if it was just laziness, then why is it that I want to do it, but I dont?! Do I just feel guilty about not doing it, so I make myself think that I will start, but then I don't because Im just too damn lazy?! If so, that's really sad.

Now that I really think about it... I really do think it's laziness. I'd like to be healthier, feel good and look good. I know what I have to do in order to achieve it. I know how to keep it interesting with variety, and look at it as "going for a nice walk" rather than EXERCISE! I know in the long run I will feel good for doing it.
But I don't do it.
Unfortunately, I've become lazy about alot of things (I rarely even do my makeup and do anything more than throwing my hair up in a messy bun).... and for whatever reason am having this revelation in this vey moment. I am a lazy person. And I don't like that.

I developed ugly looking warts on my chest. My whole pride about how good looking I was got shattered, because I always hated warts.

At least the warts are on your chest, which isn't seen easily by the general public. The rest of you is still good-looking!
Laziness, lala, is something I fight all the time! Some people love to work out, but I have to force myself. It's good when it's a habit, so then it's not forcing yourself, it's just part of your routine.

I am trying to fight my obsession with my thighs. I cannot stand them. I feel like an elephant when I sit down, even though I am currently at a healthy weight.

I am learning to love my body after years of hating it. My body really just became my sounding board for the issues that I had in my life and boy did it take a beating! I think that if we can learn to accept ourselves for who we are rather obsess with what is not easy to change, than we will be happier.
We CAN like ourselves and learn to ignore the small insignificant things.
I still struggle with some small things but am working at overcoming them.

Many of the things we dislike about ourselves ARE insignificant! But for some reason seem to be what we occupy our thoughts with.

Well, there is a part of my body that I do not like and I hide it every opportunity that I get. I do not like my thighs. No matter what exercise I do or how much weight I lose, they are huge. It's the genetic make up of my body. I do not, however, think I have a poor body image. I think I have a realistic view of my body. If someone were to try to convince me that my thighs are not big, it would be like trying to convince someone that water is not wet. I do not agree that just because someone does not find him/herself attractive, etc. that it means they have a poor body image. Some people can make accurate assessments of themselves and should be rewarded for doing so...not pathologized and labeled with a Axis II diagnosis. Reality is HEALTHY.

That's a good way of looking at it Diamond! So, what then would be poor body image in your opinion?
