Happy Weight?

[spyrosmom]

I know this has been discussed before, but do you all think our bodies have a weight they want to be?

Carrying this over from my eating time post. Seems no matter what I eat, calorie count or not, as long as my activity stays fairly consistent, my weight stays in the same 2-3lb range. It'll flip flop 2-3 lbs during the day, but every morning I weigh in its the same 1 lb range, even regardless of time of the month. If I really tighten up my eating and drink an ocean full of water, I can get it to come down a pound or 2 for a couple days, then it pops right back up and stays there, regardless of the food I eat.

Most of you know, I've lost a decent amount of weight and put on a decent amt of muscle, so I wonder if this is where my body likes to be, and if trying to fight it isn't useless? Listen to your body, ya know? I'm not saying this out of despair or hopelessness, but out of reality. I may not be the perfect shape/size/weight according to society or the AMA, but maybe it is perfect for me, and what my body wants to do and my body's needs?

Thoughts?

I just posted on my social group that I will never be the skinny minny I was in high school but I am somewhat happy where I am now. I have been at this weight for 10 years no matter what I do. I am not overweight by any means, I am just not as thin as I used to be. I usually stay within 3 pounds of "normal" for the most part. I have run marathons at this weight, done nothing for a period of time at this weight and had 2 kids and came back to this weight within a few weeks. My body likes it here even if I am not 100% happy here. I probably didn't help but understand your point.

This is where I aspire to be. I know I will never be small enough to be considered thin by society, all I really want is to have a weight that is healthy for me that my body maintains naturally. I am so tired of the constant struggle that it sounds like a complete relief to me.
