I have a unique challenge when it comes to body image, my father was a linebacker and I inherited his build. Add being overweight to that, and I have never had a good body image. Then I found FB. The scale didn't matter anymore ( I remain fat) but wow did my strength, endurance and abilities improve! I didn't care what people thought about how I looked, cause I could do PUSH UPS, and HIIT, and those freaking planks! It did irritate me somewhat the constant suggestions to do this or that for weight loss. But a few weeks ago, I met a martial arts black belt who shook my hand, and said "wow, nice muscles!" I almost cried I was so happy that someone, anyone could see the results of my efforts.
