Overall I must say that I am happy with my body.
Sure, there are a couple of things here and there that I would like to change, but I know that it all comes down to what I want to take the time for. I find it a very easy thing to keep to a figure that I am happy with. "Within acceptable peramiters" as Hal jokes.
A huge aspect of why I'm so happy with my size, though, comes from the fact that I have never had any difficulties getting to the size and weight that I have wanted. I weigh the same today that I weighed in junior high... it's all just distributed a little differently.
I've seen my mom stress about her weight, wanting to be lighter but never being able to get her metabolism working the way she wants... I decided early on that I would have an active lifestyle and that I wouldn't let my eating habits get out of control.
I learned on my own what makes my body happy. Always eating something at mealtime, sticking to things that make me feel good like wheat, oats, bran, rice, and veggies. My body tells me when I'm not feeding it right and it sends out a mental warning before I gain five pounds. I love it.
