How to stop these fat thoughts?

Sorry if this is a little long. : [

Firstly let me just say that technically I am not overweight for my height now, I am perfectly fine. I’ve actually lost just under 2 stone. So you’d think that I’d feel a lot better about myself and for a certain time I did, I was a lot more confident. But well at the moment I don’t have any money to buy new clothes and their all so baggy on me which doesn’t help the situation.

I’m always comparing myself to other girls and thinking like how huge I am compared to them but I know that I’m not, theres just this nasty little voice inside of me that makes me think I am, my boyfriend tells me how ‘hot’ and ‘beautiful’ I am, he tells me how much better I look after I’ve lost all that weight. I know he’s right but why can’t I see that myself? I used to but I don’t now.

Everytime I eat something kinda bad like chocolate, crisps, biscuits etc I feel awful afterwards, I don’t munch as much as I used to. I am trying to eat healthy.

So basically I want to know how I can stop feeling this way because I won’t but I’m scared about going down the wrong path and doing something stupid. I’m not the sort of person to do something like that but it’s always best to be prepared. I want to go back to that confident girl again. Anything advice or suggestions would be greatly appreciated.

Thank you. : ]

This information was great girls. I have been struggling with this same situation for abour 2 years now. As hard as it is to admit to the eating disorders I have had, I am working my way through it as well. My suggestion to you is take actiaon now before it turns into an eating disorder. I used to be 225 and I am 5’7. I am now currently 155lbs and lost the weight through weight watchers and then came to a stopping point where I was not losing anymore. I picked up both anorexia and bulimia once I had lost all that weight and in the midst of all the damage im sure it did to my body, I didnt lose a pound. remember that you are a beautiful person inside and out, and the person you are with loves you for who you are. My boyfriend is the exact same with me, and it helps to have someone to talk to. I am still considering seeing a therapist to talk through my constant worries of weight with so that I dont turn back to my history of eating disorders. As for feeling confident with who you are, I have found that going to the gym or even working out the smallest bit puts a satisfaction in your mind that you care about your body and are making an effort to stay in shape :) Good luck!!! Im right there with ya girly

Well, we all have a little voice inside our heads telling us that we aren’t pretty. But you know what, screw that little voice. I for one am trying to gain weight, kids at school call me anorexic and I look way to skinny. I still have a little boobs and a butt because I was an early developer, but I feel like if I keep losing weight I wont even have that any more, and then Ill be flatchested. So everyone has weird insecurities, it’s perfectly normal. I think that you are a beautiful girl, and you should be very proud of yourself for losing weight :) A good way to make yourself feel better is to eat healthy, which will provide you with better nutrients and help you get through your day easier, and make you feel better about yourself too. Also, try getting a wii fit if you can. It makes exercise amazingly fun, and you feel good knowing you’ve worked out too. Even if you don’t really need to lose weight, diet and exerciise are good for everyone, and you’ll feel better about how you look if you do these things, trust me. :]

Answer #3

You can talk to someone, save some money and go buy some close that make you confident… there are always trift stores and it makes no diffrence, and about your self sttem, talking to someone and you know just getting those feelings out will help, I mean you have to believe it yourself before anybody else and also you need to want help. Talk to a councelor, someone close and just let them know how you are feeling so you always have someone there for you and all… Make the baggy close say to you that you have lost weight and have done it…

GOOD LUCK:)

Answer #4

00baby_mama00 - Thank you, I’ve got to say that I don’t think I’m on my way to an eating disorder, I still eat even though I think like that sometimes. I lost the weight I did in a healthy way, I’ll never do things like make myself sick or not eat at all etc.

But thank you with all your help, I’ll definatly use them and try them. Hopefully it will help. I have actually been doing number 3 and 4 which has been helping to. : ]

Answer #5

I’m exactly like that to. I’m always looking at other chicks, and just thinking that I wanna look like her. Or have her body. In 9th grade I was 5’5 and only weighed 95. I still felt fat tho.. But I got over it, kinda.

I just had a baby not to long ago tho.. So I’m a little self conscious about my body now.. ‘cause I look fat.. but yea.

Answer #6

Well, it sounds like you are at the beginning of the road to an eating disorder. However, sinces it’s the beginning you can stop without professional help. Try these tips to feel more beautiful and confident:

When someone compliments you, like if your boyfriend calls you hot, say thank you, not “no, im not”
Tell yourself positive things in the mirror when you wake up and before you go to sleep. Such as, I am beautiful. I am good at sports. I like my eyes. Repeat each one at least 5-10 times.
Try different hairstyles.
Try different make-up styles.
If your parents let you cut your clothes you can alter some of them or add things.
