i hate my body.

i cant stand looking at myself sometimes. its so frustrating. i never feel comfortable with myself, i always feel like people are looking at me and thinking "oh wow she looks fat" in their head.

i have tried accepting my body, i have no self control and i cant stick to diets, i am an active person and i dont eat junk food, but i still dont feel good about how i look.



it makes me sad.

it's terrible, i am so jealous of many of the girls i see, these beautiful hip girls with perfect bodies running around half naked at festivals.. i wanna be like that but i just feel so gross.

 

i was gonna post a similar confession so i'll post here instead.

i too hate my body. the thing is though that all my friends and family look to me for health advice and cooking advice as i have been slightly obsessed with nutrition and food for years and years. i know so much about nutrition and eating well and am always making healthy food for my friends and family. i seem to be some example of living well, i never get ill, have good skin and hair et.c and everyone thinks i'm really happy.

the thing is recently i feel like a fraud. i am not fat (5'4, 119lbs) but i feel disgusting and desperate to lose weight and i will do anything to do it. I've always wanted to be thinner but the last week something's just snapped and i can't bring myself to eat more then 1000 calories a day, and this amount is decreasing fast. i have also been exercising any time i can.

i just feel like a hypocrite, helping friends to change their diet and lose weight sensibly, or just become healthier when i am crash dieting and i know i can't be getting all the nutrients i need.

pink floyd, i also saw your post about emaciated women and i don't think your self image is helped by these at all. and when you say you see beautiful girls with perfect bodies running around, then trust me, a lot of these girls probably hate their bodies too or constantly struggle to keep them small. its a sad world.

 

Pink, sweetie... I can relate to everything you said..
You should always love the skin you are in ( i know, i know, much easier said then done)
You've got to know that everyone shouldnt look the same, that would be scary as hell..
You should be comfortable and proud of how you are and the way you look.. I use to hate the way i look and my tummy aint what it use to be after the millions of surgeries I have had.. and i would be depressed about it..
but then I realized why am i depressed..why make myself feel so bad about myself that it makes me hate me.. Then I looked in the mirror and realized that I am me, I am the only one of me in the world and i love that i look like no one else, that my body is mine and that its beautiful no matter the little scars...
Dont hate anything about yourself, it makes you feel horrible and makes you feel jealousy and thats not a good feeling and not healthy to do to yourself..
Love your body, its just a shell of who you are..
Self hate can ruin so much, your esteem, the way you feel everyday, everything basically..
Love the body you are in, its your temple, its your outer layer...love it for what it is..

 

Pink, I feel the exact same way as you sometimes.. It's like you get so frustrated that you want to just 'rip off the bad parts about your physical appearance', but it's not possible... I mean you can change things, with hard work but I believe every girl/woman goes through that... I think of it like this, I am who I am... I can do 1,000 situps a night and acheive those perfect abs, but even after that there will still be something in the back of your head that you feel you should work on.. You just have to love yourself.. Every woman is different, all women come in all shapes and sizes and they're all beautiful!!

 

whoooooooa hang on a second ... let me get this right ... the most amazingly beautiful pink floyd thinks she 'gross'?!

pink floyd you've lost the plot!

i'm sorry but you're stunning! in no possible way could the person in your gallery be considered 'gross'. i can't get my head round it. einstein wouldn't be able to!

you are stunning, end of - ya sexy dreaded lovely big eyed minx! ekul le chet has spoken, and my word is law - don't make me come to america and enforce the law!

 

Thanks everybody for all the kind and supportive words. It really means a lot to me, knowing i can come here and have people to relate to. granted, i was pretty pissed off when i wrote that.. i guess i dont feel like that all the time, but sometimes i do.. and when i do, its a very strong & overtaking feeling.
Kayla, that was some great advise. im going to remember that

Hey i sent you a PM
thank you very much.. *blushes*
that is very nice of you to say, much love to you! *kiss*

 

There are millions of you out there. Know you are not alone and with the help of our three step system, you too can have the body of your favorite celebrity. All we need is 4 easy payments of $19.99.

Shipping & handling not included.

 

i think everyone feels like crap about their body in some way or another, if you get the most prettiest, happiest, nicest etc. person i bet she/he will find a fault about themselfs. its the way we work, u need to say a few things you like about your body. think positive not negative. its hard but can be done xxx

 

i wish i had a nice body...I feel the same why Pink

 

all you have to do is stop comparing yourselves to that celebrity image of 'beautiful'...you are all beautiful just the way you are

 

Pink, I don't know what makes you think you look anything but beautiful.

 

hmm, well i used to be kind of chubby but all i had to do was grow a couple inches and lose like fifteen pounds. i'm sure it's just an awkward faze, everyone has one... it will pass.

*edit*

wtf?! i took a look at your picture gallery, and you're quite beautiful... just try to pluck up some confidence, having an air of confidence about you makes your inner beauty visible and your outer beauty that much better.

 

I totally understand how you feel. I have battled bulimia and anorexia for 3 years now. Accepting your body can be difficult. But you are beautiful, and i hope you will be able to appreciate your beauty too.

 

I know exactly how you feel pink...
people will say I am pretty and tell me I look good..
But I'm not... thats just the way I see my self..
I looked at your gallery, and what I saw was a beautiful woman..
A girl that looks happy in her skin with her ratties ..

I look in my gallery, and I see... shit on a stick.. haha

 

thanks to everyone who posted in this thread
You guys are the best.. the kind words are nice to hear.

and just to clarify.. i dont want to be stick-thin like the celebrities or anything, thats not my goal.. ive just always had a hard time accepting my body. but that doesnt mean i wanna shrink down to nothing.. i just want to eventually be content & healthy with how i look (who doesnt?)

it can be hard sometimes but hopefully it can be done

much love to you all



edit: shadow dreamer thanks for what you said i think you are gorgeous, maybe we can learn from each other! LOL
you are definitely the opposite of shit on a stick!

 

Pink, ur freakin beautiful, after i read this post i was thinking of seeing someone u know... like kinda not self confident and what not...semi good looking you know... but ur seriously gorgyyy hahah... im lovin the dreads...i also feel like i hate my body ALL THE TIME... its like guys are only interested in me ( if they are ) because of my boobs... and like... idk i look at my self and i feel like shit and i have alllways been athletic... and i eat right and shit... hell im a vegetarian... but i do it healthy u know...
i just feel like theres nothing i can do and then i think im not trying hard enough because nothing is impossible right... ahh idk

 

wow all of you girls saying this bullshit about hating your bodies are good looking, Pink especially you, you are sexy as fucking hell why the hell can't you realize that?
someone here said everyone hates their body, not true I don't. it might not be perfect and sure I would like to look better but I ain't bad the way I am (that's my opinion anyway) you have the power to overcome this stupidity, take some control over your fuckin' mind

 

Hahahh thanks duck. you always make me smile.

fuckin mind.. always trying to run shit.. *beats head* LOL

 

I think we both just did.. ..

I think you are gorgeous, and you dont..
I think I am icky, and you say I am pretty..

humm.... were weird...

 

Pink, you're definitely a hottie...but I'd do ya even if you weren't -- just cause you're cool and have a great attitude. Peace.
