nope. i don't think i ever will be. I hated my body more at my lw than i did at my hw.
being happy with your body unfortunately isn't really about the weight. it's about your mindset.
there's always "skinnier" and never "skinny enough".

Honestly, sometimes I truly am okay at this weight (which to my old self would be deemed ridiculously overweight) but I often think I just want to lose a little weight, and then I start being more purposeful around food which turns into restricting which turns into low restricting which leads to bingeing. Ultimately if I'm honest with myself, my weight truly doesn't really matter to me as long as I'm leading a happy and relaxed life, but considering at least once every few months I fall back into restriction to "lose a little weight", and end up becoming fixated on losing as much as I can, wanting to be my old tiny self, I don't know.
