I've always assumed that my ideal weight was at the top end of healthy BMI range. Always thought I had a large frame. But at my original goal weight, I'm now a size 6, sometimes even a 4 - so already fairly "small". But still have a high BF %, and I definitely don't think I could be described as slim. So now seems possible my ideal weight could be as much as 15 lbs lighter! (5'5" F at 145lbs currently for context)
I am confident in my current body, but baffled about my weight and how my body carries it. Were my old ideas about myself wrong, is it a bit of dysmorphia, or do I just have unrealistic expectations? I have never in my entire life thought of my body as anything but large-framed, curvy or athletic.
Would love to hear other experiences (from any gender, size, etc) of re-evaluating your view of your body and your ideal weight. How do you figure out what is real and what is your preconceived self-image?
