When it comes to my body and overall health, I get real passionate about it. I am not one to take being told I'm doing something incorrectly as a helpful opinion. I do my research and have been working on myself for almost 5 years now. I'm no expert but I know what works for me.
There are several factors that keep people from making the choice to live differently. It isn't as easy as some people make it out to be. You see all these healthy eating blogs, workout blogs, recipe sites, etc. The average person can become overwhelmed by all the information and that's when the "quick fixes" or "fads" come into play. These eating habits, trends, and diets will give you results but as soon as you return to old habits, the weight comes back. People don't understand that it has to be a lifestyle change and a life long commitment. It's not just weight loss or getting the body you want. You need to focus on your health. If I worried just about a scale number or a size on a piece of clothing, I'd go crazy. I'm considered obese but really? If medical experts relied more on body composition than a person's body mass index, people would see that they'd need to lose fat. Not just "weight". That truly is all that weight loss is. You're burning fat off of your body. There's not much more to it.
For me, I'd rather weigh more and be muscular than weigh less and have excess fat on me. My objective is to burn the fat beneath the loose skin i have, tighten the loose skin up, and slowly gain lean mass as fat is lost. I do not have a weight or size in mind. I focus on healthy and aim for fit. That's what my goals are. No one has the same goals as you. You aren't them. There is a lot more to keep in mind than just being "skinny" or "muscular". Just because you think you should be one size, it may not be right for your body type. Do what you feel is right for you. Make realistic goals and keep them in mind. It's the only life you are given to live, so, why not make it a healthy one?
