What is the perfect weight

Every day we are bombarded with pictures of models with the perfect body, most of them wearing a shocking size 0.This can go one of two ways.  Either you will see these pictures and do everything in your power to look like those models, or you are so depressed that you don't look like them, that you eat and then you get fat and it becomes harder to look like those models. I was never the pretty, skinny girl, it was only when I took the initiative to start eating better and start working out. I have been doing it for almost 6 months and I feel great. I used to feel so guilty when I would eat certain foods, but now that I do workouts I don't feel so bad.  For most of my teenage life I would have almost all my family telling me how I should do gym, diet and do more exercise. I would agree with them, but until I actual did it for myself, it was never going to work. I have gone to gym,

I joined the hockey team in grade 11 but none of that helped, because I never put 100% into it. This time round I have put myself completely into my fitness. I don't eat bread and cakes. I stay away from ice-cream as much as possible. I eat normally, I just have smaller portions. It is really all about making yourself happy. My mother used to tell that if you are happy then weight doesn't matter, but then I would always think that there was no possible way that a person would be happy being over weight. Having confidence is what makes a person look sexy, and being fit and healthy is what makes a person feel confident. The two come hand in hand and there is never an excuse to not exercise, all it takes is at least twenty minutes a day, an hour is best but start of small and work your way up. Once you start to feel happier you are less likely to eat that piece of chocolate cake. The most important thing in life is to be happy, so if having an extra slice of cake makes you happy, then do it.  Love the skin you are in.
