I always feel like crap when it comes to my "body image". I'm 5'6 and 170lbs and everytime I look in the mirror I feel like I'm 500lbs and a big ugly whale. I keep hearing that I have to get past this and I "just can't think about it" but no one seems to get that it's incredibly hard to train your mind not to think something 24/7. It's the last thing on my mind before I go to sleep and the first thing on my mind when I wake up. Just when I'm starting to relax and not think about my "weight issue" someone says one little comment, like "I feel like chocolate" or "i need a new sweater" and I'm instantly reminded of my issue. It's horrible. It's like this huge extra weight I'm caring around with me. I don't know if anyone else feels like this and what they do to feel better. Well...I do feel slightly better from writing it down so hopefully this will last for a little while.
