A reply I made in a community re: weight/body image.

I think I come in as just over weight for my height, but I don't see myself as hugely fat.  I stacked on a massive 20 kilos in about 6 months after I started taking the pill and every time I weight myself (which is every once in a while) I seem to have put on an extra 5 kilos.  I'm hovering around 80/85 kilos at the moment, I just keep telling myself the scales are wrong because to me I don't look or feel bigger.

I actually feel a lot better about myself lately.  I take a decent walk at least once a week with a birdwatching club and when I watch TV I bounce on the mini-trampoline during the ads.  Once I lost my job (I turned 20, and suddenly became to old to pay anymore), I didn't have the money to afford things I used to do like ice skating regularly.  I would join a gym but at the moment that's also cost prohibitive.  Next year I'll have finished my degree and be looking for a job, then I'll have enough to money to exercisey things again.

I would dearly love to get rid off some of my butt and thigh fat and my pudgy stomach so I can wear nice clothes again.  I've also got some fat in my chin/neck area that I want to get rid of.  I love my shoulders, back, upper arms, boobs and calves.

I love my food and will not give it up.  If I have to be a little overweight for that so be it.  But I believe if I'm determined I can find an exercise routine to suit my consumption.  I don't eat only junk food, I just eat and love food in all it's varied glory.  So seeing as I'm not willing to consume less calories, I'll just have to burn off more calories.
