Ridiculously high amounts of working out paired with ridiculously low food intake wreaked havoc on my body, but I thought that I was on my way to perfection since that's what all the magazines told me to do. I never found perfection, I never found happiness.. until I made peace with working out and food. I'm so glad I've figured out how to take care of myself and what perfect really is - being beautiful on the inside, giving my body what it asks for, and loving myself as I am!Tarahttp://xcfoodie.wordpress.comnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2645758978160780601.post-69492383004233009592011-08-25T18:44:18.678-07:002011-08-25T18:44:18.678-07:00Thanks for sharing this post, love your honesty. ...Thanks for sharing this post, love your honesty. <br /><br />You have come a long way and I'm sure that the struggle has not just completely disappeared, but rather is something to deal with on a daily basis. The difference is that you are aware of it now and you are so much stronger and are kicking it's butt! I have plenty of internal struggles as well.Neon Blonde Runnerhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16782863353830958219noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2645758978160780601.post-27926294497251741592011-08-25T16:21:53.457-07:002011-08-25T16:21:53.457-07:00What an honest post, that I think a lot of women ...What an honest post, that I think a lot of women struggle with. I know I've gone through phases like that. I think now I have it under control because I've educated myself about true health and realize that those habits were only going to hurt me down the road. Not to say that I don't sometimes struggle with thoughts of not being good enough or wanting to look like women in magazines, but I think it's a lot better and I can appreciate all my body does for me, not just the way it looks!Melissahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01763496074201861416noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2645758978160780601.post-29665299643770149452011-08-25T15:41:13.399-07:002011-08-25T15:41:13.399-07:00This is a great post!

I do tend to strive for perfection, even though I know I shouldn't because I won't look like those models in the magazines. This is a big reason why I read healthy living blogs- it shows how real women stay in shape without spending hours upon hours in the gym. Would I love to look like them? Uhm- yes please! But, I know its an unrealistic goal that I shouldn't set for myself. I try to keep my exercise routines, and the amount of time I work out in moderation by telling myself that another hour isn't going to get me the body I want that much quicker.Brittany @ A Spoonful of Peanut Butterhttp://spoonfulpb.wordpress.com/noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2645758978160780601.post-8091763230796557972011-08-24T22:39:02.018-07:002011-08-24T22:39:02.018-07:00Wow, what a great post!

I'm a little jealous - I'd love that much time to work out (because I really enjoy it) - but at the end of the day, I'm happy. Definitely not perfect, but happy!Anonymousnoreply@blogger.com
