So, UNREALISTIC is the new excuse for lazy people? You see a skinny girl with a six-pack and boobs, she’s unrealistic. (and photoshopped) They tell you to stop eating junk food and sweets, you say ...See more that’s unrealistic. They advice you to stop eating bread, you say that’s unrealistic.
Unrealistic to all of you, maybe, who pretend to have a completely different body without a BIG effort and completely changing your habits.

My body flipped out. I was super bitchy and miserable. I had ZERO energy and ultimately gave up and went back to my old ways. What did work was to change my calorie intake to the amount I needed to sustain a weight of 190 lbs. Then, when I weighed 190 for a while change my calorie intake to the amount I needed to sustain a weight of 180 and so on and so forth. I did the same thing with exercise. It was unrealistic to try to try to change so drastically, like I did the first time.

It would be UNREALISTIC for me to set a goal of weighing 120 lbs. It’s not going to happen. I’m a tall girl with a larger frame, so I’m never going to be a size 0.
I encourage everyone to do what they need to motivate themselves. If posting pictures of fit women (like the photos above) motivates you, go for it. Focus on feeling good, losing inches, and fitting into your clothes, not on the actual weight lost (muscle weighs more than fat).
As far as breasts go, some women have them, some don’t. Sometimes big boobs are a result of fatty tissue (some of which will be lost when you lose fat elsewhere), and some are larger because of mammary tissue. Some people are just gifted with large boobs and high metabolisms. Remember, there are some magnificent push up bras out there nowadays! I was a Hooters Girl for a few years in college, and the girls who lacked larger boobs wore 2 push up bras, and sometimes even rolled up socks inside their bras to make even more cleavage. Boobs aren’t always photoshopped or fake! My best friend has a B cup, and (with the help of her Bombshell bra) I think her cleavage looks much better than mine.
Make a goal and stick with it. What’s more difficult: looking in the mirror every day and hating what you see? Or going to the gym? My answer is the former.
