i hate my body.

i hate all this celebrity culture, it makes women all feel like shit because none of them feel they can match up. i have friends who are beautiful and brilliant and they're always feeling bad because they feel they're not as good as other women. but when i see hotties on hipforums saying they think they don't like the way they look i KNOW somethings wrong with the way women see themselves.

i know its hard to take compliments and believe what people say when you think you look like crap, but you have to look at the way you yourself give genuine compliments, and then you realise that people arent lying. but hey, i feel the same way about myself and cant get out of the insecurity rut, so i'm not sure im qualified to talk about it

 

no one loves everything about themself i dont think.

i often hate the way i look but we cant change so theres no point and who cares what others think, do what makes you happy

 

I used to wake up every morning and the first thing I would think would be how much I hated my body. Down to the little things even, like that one little hair on my eyebrow the messed up the arch, or something stupid like that. When I moved to Greece everything changed. I got away from the hollywood skinny girls that I would see everyday and that was replaced with me being told that I needed to eat more and I needed "fattening up" because you can see my collar bones.

I definetly blame the entertainment world for making women hate themselves. When I go back home, I immeadiatly(sp) feel like I'm not good enough again.

 

I personally think you look great....I don't see what you need to be uncomfortable about

I myself need to work on this gut of mine. I blame beer. It loves me too much.

 

Hey Sarah

You look absolutely georgeous as most, nope, everyone else has said on here

No chance. You have 3 things Beauty, Inner Beauty & a fucking grrrrrrrrreat
personality !!!

Take it easy

Only insecure people look at other people and think they are fat. Your not fat, and most girls on tv are too skinny anyway.

 

I know the feeling. sometimes I get so upset when I look at myself. their are lots of things I wish I could change.

 

Everyone is beautiful in one shape or form... You gotta learn to just accept who you are and stop comparing yourself. If someone really wanted to see how beautiful you are, they would get to know you in every way. You are fine the way you are =)

 

Unfortunately the body image problem is extending to men too. We're being bombarded with images of men and women that shows that unless you're toned, tanned, and perfect, you won't be happy and you won't get the girl/guy you want. And it's funny because I constantly try and reinforce the positive self-image in my little sisters but at the same time I'm dealing with my own feelings of "what's wrong" with me.

It's a fine line to walk and all I can do for myself is keep trying to love myself and projecting that love out to others. To all the ladies and gentlemen who have posted, and those who haven't but are still dealing with this, YOU ARE BEAUTIFUL AND YOU ARE PERFECT JUST THE WAY YOU ARE AND YOU DESERVE TO BE HAPPY WITH YOURSELF AND LOVE WHO YOU ARE, INSIDE AND OUT!

 

i know its been a while since anyone has posted but i just thoughts id say--> pink, i think your body is fine and even if you dont, you have something alot of girls are trying to find: a fun personality.. you also have a certain radiance ( i dont know if its your eyes but there is something you have that can capture anyones attention)

if you try and be someone else then what/who will be you? and if you want to look a certain way then who will have your style to look at? it wont be there anymore because you'll have adapted someone else's ways..

i think you have alot to celebrate about yourself.

 

Sarah you're hot and I love seeing your boobies.

 

I agree. I mean, jesus, first of all, yer gorgeous, Sarah, an second of all...ugh, yer GORGEOUS. I tried to think of something well-reasoned, objective, etc. to say, but I jus can't get over how you can think that yer ugly or fat or whatever. It makes me wanna shoot myself in the eye with a pellet gun.

 

I feel exactly the same way about myself. I feel fat and self-conscious all the time.

 

yep yep... . me too

 

*EXTREME BLUSH* aww



Thank you all for the kind words.. it really does help. I was probably in a bad mood when i made this thread.. ive been trying to be better about it.. its hard sometimes, but its great to know that i can come talk to you guys.

 

i think someone was just looking for attention. Im sure there are plenty of heavy girls on here that felt the same way as u until they saw your pic. then they really felt like shit about themselves

 

ok..look.. this is basicaly a social disease.. its a disease in the very fabric of society.. pink, i peeked at the gallery & saw exactly what i expected to see.. an absolutely perfect body..however you see it defferently, the same goes for every other sister who posted theyre stories, i didnt peek at any of them..didnt need to..in fact didnt read past the first 3 posts.. i've seen & heard it all..every day i help another sister with the same exact prob i have freinds who have heart probs at 18 from starving themselves to death & yet still feel fat..the problem is..no mater how perfect your body is..the media continues to bombard you with images of women impossibly thin.. to compound the problem kids in school & catty women can be very mean.. calling you fat simply cause theyre threattened by your beaty intelregence..kindness..whatever..trying to accept your body doesnt work as long as those voices still echo .. that never ending chant your fat your fat youyr fat saying to yourself ok..i'm fat.theres nothing i can do about it but accept it..is that a solution? or admitting defeat?
so, what is the solution?
first of all.. with your voice yor mind your spirit.. from the depth of your soul scream out..fuck you..i will not allow you to distort my vission..i will not allow you to make me hate the perfection that is me
then with open eyes & clarity.. rfusing to fall into he entrappments of the usual distortions.. spend time every day just admiring your body.. find beauty in every curv.. every freckle every mole every pore & fine hair..seek beauty in the texturem the way the light & shadow fall.. the feeel..every detail.. everytime your mind says oh god i just wisj that was allittle more.....ask yourself.. but why? what am i comparing it to? why is my_____ (fil in blanks) any less beautiful then ___'s ___.. step back allitttle & see how perfectly that____ fits with the rest of your body.. dont just accept it..love it.. simple loving carresses.. i dont mean like sexual..masterbation..i mean really loving touch.. when your mind tries to fightt you & insist 1 particular area isnt god enough.. the next day spend allittle extra time loving & admiriung that area.. tjis will take time..the negative images were pounded into your mind over years..theyre deeply ingrained into your psyche.. but they are not reality.. wity care & effort you can revrse he dammage
this sickness is so prevelamt in society theres thousands of support groups for every body image issue
and there are people out there who care and arewilling to help..
hell if i gotta siffer through hours of looking at perfect beautiful bodies all day to help people i care about see theyre true beauty..i'll force myself to endure it..if its really unbearable i guess i;'ll just start charging for the service..lol (sorry hadta end with allittle silliness otherwise ya wouldnt think it was really me)
but seriusly.. this is an issue i take very serius, because i've seen too many women suffer..and.. i..its hard to even mention it.. but i lost someone.. i had only known a couple weeks but had started to really cre about.. she refused to tell her weight, & said she was fat.. but i'd never seen anyone so thin..i doubt she weighed over 85 pounds....she committed suicide 2 weeks after i met her..i was young & stipid at the time..i should have seen the signs..

please..pleade realize..its not your bodies that are ugly..he real ugliness is in the world around you that would make you feel that way..floyd.. your the only 1 i looked at (well..i did just read page 1..& i know all you girls are absolute babrs) but floyd..i culd not imagine a more perfect body.. all your bodiesare perfect for who you are/.if i could make magic glssses that let you see yourselves through my eyes..or your own without the minds distortion..you'd be drooling all over yourselves
sorry if i babbled & went on too long..but this is 1 thing i'm passionate about..i despise the fact that in this world the most beautiful women alive still feel ugly
i love you all deeply

 

I used to weigh 30 kilos more than i do. I suffered from low self esteem, so much such that i didn't really leave the house. In the end i was sick and tired of my life going by with things the way they were. I started walking every night and reducing my food intake. It took me about a year but i lost the weight. As time goes by and the weight comes off you start to feel better about yourself and looking forward to things more. Start with a goal, a small one. Don't say, "right i have to lose 30 kilos" or whatever. Start with 5 or 10 kilos.

You can do it. Just become determined and maybe find a friend to exercise with you. What do you have to lose except feeling miserable

 

you are beautiful. get help.

 

Real Women Have Curves. I want you to stand up and look down. You may think you see fat. But now I want you to go look at yourself in a full length mirror. I used to be just like you girls. Then I started to respect my body. I understand completly where you're coming from.. Everyone is beautiful. I remember when I was about Fourteen or so, I'd look down and I thought I had horse legs, And that's why I never wore shorts for three years. Then I realized how my body really looked. And I fell in love with it.
You need to look at yourself, soul and all, and realize, you are beautiful.. Everyone is.
