Is there a flaw in your belief system that makes you think you don't deserve to feel good about yourself and your body? I only ask because it is something I have struggled with for years.
Personally, my "inner issues" dont go as deep as that. Im closing in on 50, my metabloism took a dive in my 30's, I enjoy food and love life. Ive never been happier with myself and dont believe anybody is better than I am. I just got older and eat too much - pure and simple.
Sometimes life really is this simple - no hidden issues - nature happens.
Good luck OP
