Now I just eat healthfully, rarely step on the scale (I made a commitment early on that my daughters would never see me step on a scale! and I really enjoy working out and exercising- always have but now I focus on the joy and pleasure of it rather than the calorie/fat burning aspects! Thank you Jeniffer,

I know when I was 15, I went on my first "diet"--I could not eat anything with more than 100 calories in it, and whatever I ate could not add up to more than 500 calories per day. Even though I am 5'3" tall and weighed 105 pounds at my lightest, I always thought I looked fat. I won't tell you what I weigh now (let's just say more than that!), but I find my comfort level in this older body and with the way I look is much higher than when I was truly "thin". And "dieting" for me has become more about being healthy than about seeing a certain number on the scale. Weight loss has become almost an added bonus of having a healthy body.

The pink bikini visual comment made me laugh and it made me happy! At my age of 46 I don't often think of things like that anymore and it was fun to think about! Give it an extra push...it will feel great and life-affirming! Thank you Tom! The pink bikini visual comment made me laugh and it made me happy!

Our bodies know when enough is enough and we can tell if we are listening. I'm on a relatively new quest of fitness myself right now. When I visit the gym today I'll think of your extreme example and give it an extra push. Thanks for the pink bikini visual. ;) Karen as an extreme personality I thank you for allowing me to look at extremes in a good and healthy way.

I think our sense of body image is incredibly distorted and we have very little concept of what it means to be healthy. I will admit here that I'm extreme too - I do 1-2 hours of pilates a day, which some people would think is extreme! I think as long as you're enjoying it, and you develop a program that is full of variety and fun, then that'll keep you healthy for life. Or so says my PT.

Evelyn, that is wonderful that eating disorders are uncommon in Singapore...They have been quite prevalent here, I've known many with full-blown disorders and many others that probably came too close to the edge. It is a rather sad commentary. thank you Kenneth and Tim,

I'm in my 30s. Still, it's interesting to reading about what you've been through in terms of dieting issues when you were younger. Great sharing! Enjoyed your article for its candidness.
