Your Body Image is 52% Unhealthy, 48% Healthy

You may think you have a normal body image, but you definitely don't. While you may not have a serious problem, you obsess over your looks way too much.

I guess I have good and bad days.

Today thankfully is a much better one.

This is a happier entry than recent days.

I exercised 20 miles on the bike again tonight. Not missed any exercise this week or feeling guilty for any reason but I was enjoying myself. It did help by doing 7 miles earlier in the day when Matthew had a nap. So come the evening I was happy to do my 10 miles minimum as normal. BUT then I thought, 3 miles is only about another 7 minutes. I may as well round it up to 20. Feeling good for that.

Had an evening walk tonight too.

Ok, I may have put on a couple of lbs this week BUT I see some differences. My legs first.

Secondly, I realise why I am so paranoid about my stomach. Looking in the mirror today I don't believe it has grown like I said before. But looking sidewards in the mirror, I look ok. I am not wearing tight pants or tight exercise trousers cramming my tummy into a tight spot. I am exercising in loose clothing. I don't feel fat when I wear my jeans. The Third thing, my stomach looks "bigger" because I never focussed on that in the past. It was always my huge rear which you could rest a pint of beer on. My backside did literally come out like a shelf. The cycling has worked wonders on that. It is firmer and smaller than ever.

Maybe I should go back to control pants to sort out my body image. :)

I got some herbal water tablets today and took 2 at tea time but not a scrap of difference so far. Only peed once since then, we'll have to see when I am on them a full day.
