What is it really about?

The after picture is really thin! That being said.... It's also a body a tween might have. So be careful about setting your goals too thin. We are women not tween or teans. Society places too much pressure on us. Even those models are not as thin as they airbrush them to be! I got down to 129 last time I was losing weight and honestly it was too thin for my 47 year old body. I need a little more weight to fill out my wrinkles for one! I feel the best at about 135, and I feel good at 145. I'm only saying that to challenge your thinking, and your goals. If you shoot to small your body will fight you. Also, adding muscle will allow for more calorie intake without adding inches to your waistline. The more toned and muscle the more your body burns at rest. Now things like sugar are not good for us no matter if they make us gain weight or not. I do love it though and it seems to be a like a drug. Either I'm having it or I'm not.... I don't seem to find a middle ground.

I did mean you look great now! I also think theres more and more over weight people despite the pressure because of all the other factors like that we are far too busy these days and it's cheaper most times to eat unhealthy and faster to eat unhealthy. When I was subbing for one of our local high schools I was surprised at the number of high school girls that are sporting a more womanly body, or just plain over weight bodies. When I was in high school most of us were twigs. There was that occasional girl who had genetics on her side that was more curvy, and the VERY rare over weight girl who just got unlucky enough to have parent's who fed her the wrong foods in big portions for all of her life. But we didn't have the choice of burgers and fries as a alternative at every lunch time. We have food thrown at us from every angle every day.

It's a totally different world than only 30 years back. Hope we can turn it around.
