So, this has been happening for the last couple of years and it tends to get worse...when I look in the mirror I feel like I am looking at someone fat and disgusting. I hate showing off my body and wearing a swimsuit. The problem is though, I am 5'8" and only weigh 130 lbs. Weight has just been a huge issue for me lately. What should I do? Thanks!
Dont dodge your image please or get rid of your mirrors. Avoidance will just reinforce your negative beliefs and then random phobias develop.
A billion people can tell you that you are pretty and it isnt going to make a difference. You need to work on this for yourself so you can believe it. Do you have a school counselor you can maybe talk to? There's a couple of techniques I've tried for self esteem and image stuff, but it really would work best if you could work with your counselor on them.
get rid of mirrors, I know your reflection pops up everywhere (windows/glass) ... but think of how silly it is, looking at yourself more than once a day! soo dodge looking at your reflection unless it's necessary (brushing teeth) and then you'll start to not care about image hopefully.
For starters..let me say that I think you are a VERY pretty girl. Confidence is the most important thing..and the only way you can gain confidence in yourself is to just learn to except yourself. being physically attractive is not everything...you have to have a good personality too.
Get laid more, a good boyfriend who is a good shag is the best way of making you feel good about yourself... hopefully you'll get enough confidence to deal with the disappointement when he eventually leaves
your still growing and I know this doesnt mean much from a random guy but im sure you look great cause I know about of girls that discribe the way you look and from your pic you look like any agerage girl.
I dunno, I dont think it helps that my mom used to make fun of my weight. But she recently apologized about it and doesnt seem like she will ever do it again? I guess we will just have to see.
dont feel that way just because of the way you look I bet you look fine and you have to have more than one reason to feel dissgusting... got any secrets...???
uhh... there is nothing wrong with your body... you just have to learn how to love yourself :) and be happy with it
