Please don't compare yourself to Lydia's highly-edited images.
Lydia is highly triggered by her weight. Remember: She started as a self-proclaimed "health and fitness" blogger. She spends a lot of time editing her photos (and eye-fucking herself) which is often a sign of someone struggling with extreme body dissatisfaction.
Take a good hard look at the person that's triggering those thoughts. From the horse's mouth, Lydia has written:

She wants a BIG PUBLIC pat on the back for losing weight.
Unfollow her and people who either trigger you or just make you feel bad about yourself. It’s really easy and helps create a feed full of positive women that can inspire you.
I follow body-positive women online that are uplifting and don't obsess about their weight, Lydia is not one of them. She seems to call attention to her weight every chance she gets because she has deeply-rooted confidence issues (which she has mentioned before). I can see how it can be a negative influence on others –– especially impressionable young girls.
Thanks everyone and specifically @Gemma_NYC !!!
You wouldn't realize how liberating it is to hear this from someone else, just as a reassurance that it's not your own mind
playing games with you .
For days together I used to be upset after watching this vile woman, complain about how her gymshark clothes just got looser,
whilst showing pictures of her eating sandwiches(gf, ofcourse!) , asparagus and avocados and running miles even when sick.
And I was trying hard to lose a couple of pounds doing the same things but to no avail.My arms just grew muscular and bigger
where as she flaunts her tiny twigs frolicking around pumpkin patches
It was my husband who pointed it out one day saying "If that was what I was aspiring to be by losing weight then he might as well get used to sleeping next to a scarecrow who resembled Lord Voldemort" .
Thats when I did realize that the way I feel had everything to do with her and her insecurity projected onto me.
Its not easy but I am trying to escape her "body issues"
