Overthinking it

Today, I spent an hour photoshopping my face onto super skinny models as inspiration for a diet. FML

If that's what really motivates you, then I see nothing wrong.

Wow.. Please get some help. Btw, super skinny models are frowned upon these days. Just get healthy. Not skinny.

You are beautiful, no matter what they say (8)

Keep the fat picture. It'll be inspiration never to look like that again!

I've had some issues with eating disorders, and I've been tempted to do the same thing, but try this -- put up pictures of yourself smiling, feeling genuinely happy. They can be pictures of just your face if you don't feel comfortable with your body right now. When you look at them, or when you're heading to the fridge, remember how you felt in the moment that picture was taken. Remember what it's like to be happy and imagine how freeing it will be to watch yourself get stronger and healthier. Pick something good to eat, or just get some water if you find you're not really hungry. Make it your goal to be the smiling person in the picture, and if whatever you're doing -- dieting or not -- isn't making you feel that way, change it. You only want to be thin because you think it'll make you happy, right? So skip the intermediate step and try to find what makes you glad to be alive.

Yeah and it's also important to eat good food that you like. Eating is something that should make you happy. If you eat only uncooked vegetables it's quite depressing. You have to find a good balance between satisfying and healthy stuff. You can send me private messages if you want :D

As #5, #6 and 9 said, it's not your weight the most important, it's your health. If you want to lose too much weight in no time it won't be healthy for your body. You're just going to starve yourself and then eat a lot again to compensate... Try to have not too high expectations and be patient and realistic instead. Good diets are not for a short period but for a life time. Not all diets are depressing, you just have to learn how to cook better and use better ingredients :D Come to my country and I will make you eat healthy and goooooood stuff :D

Photoshop Einstein's face onto your body next time. Maybe that will inspire you to become smarter.

Wouldn't it be more inspiration to have a picture of you really fat? Then you're like "shit! I'm fat! I must exercise!" :D

models inspiration for diet. me eat salad now. no more cow for mouthfood. great grammar in this story.

Ehh.. I'm on a 1200 calorie a day diet right now lol its not bad actually & my appetite is a lot smaller now I get full off of things that would be considered an appetizer. You can do it Open if the Photoshoping motivates you then go for it (:

Find another motivation, looking at thinspiration is just going to make you depressed and hate yourself, which will just cause you to get less energy to exercise, or mentally **** you up. Speaking from many years experience with eating disorders, keep away from those pictures and motivate yourself with being healthy, not skinny.
