Having a Hard Time With My Body Image! Posted: 01-11-08 21:15pm
I am really quite stressed out at the
moment with the way I feel about my body.
Im really uncomfortable with it at the
moment and even get embarressed when
people see me or its hot and I have to go
to the beach and stuff. My partner thinks
Im beautifull but I dont feel it all I see
is fat and grossness. I weigh 43 kg and
thats the hevest Ive been in about 6 years
and I cant fit in to my old clothes
anymore wich upsets me. I dont know what
to do and it makes my ed worse again when
i feel like this, I hate it. I want to
join a gym or something and tone more, I
dont know its just me being stupid I think
because I see myself differently to others

I have had a bad body image all my life
and now Im 41 and over weight I look back
now and see that I had a good body and I
was pretty and I wasted alot of years
beating myself up about how I looked. I
guess what Im saying is be happy with how
you look get help if you have to so you
dont waste alot of years with a bad self
image like I have. Listen to your
boyfriend and just know you are beautiful
inside and out.

I know what it's like, but you must not
let yourself go that down, ok?

appearances are not as important as you
think. the more you obsess about how you
look, the more you neglect other aspects
of your life that make you attractive and
interesting to others.
one's obsession with their appearance is
not only harmfull to their health, but
becomes un-attractive to others. a person
who is sattisfied with who they are
doesn't have to be outwardly beautiful,
yet will have a certain glow about them
that attracts people.
given the choice between dating a boring
cover girl or someone normal and alive
i'll go for normal and alive. the beauty
that is skin deep wears out real fast...
once the novelty wears out, you're done.
while a person's inner beauty only becomes
more and more appealing with time.
instead wasting time on putting yourself
down, find something to love and be
gratefull for what you are given.
