blah. im feeling crappy.
i'm wondering how many girls here are comfortable with their body? how many of you look in the mirror and are genuinely happy with how you look?
i'm kinda hoping that anyone who is happy with their body image could give me some advice on how to just accept myself as i am and stop comparing myself to others and criticizing myself and beating myself up over my weight. because i've been trying for years and i just can't do it.
sometimes i feel happy and attractive. other times, i can't pull myself away from staring in the mirror and pulling my hips and poking my stomach and hating myself and thinking how much better life would be if i was born without goddamn curves.
to those of you that are entirely happy with how you look, how much time and effort do you put into your body? be honest. how strict are you with eating, how much time do you spend in the gym, how much discipline does it require?
occasionally i get motivated and go on a health kick, and i eat so well and work out like crazy and start seeing results. and then something will happen that throws me off. i'll go out for lunch with one of my naturally tiny, petite, thin friends who haven't worked out for a second of their lives, and watch them eat mcdonalds and drink coke while i have a salad and a bottle of water, and then i get disheartened because it's just not fair that some girls have everything i could possibly want without even having to work for it. and what's the point, it doesn't matter how much i starve myself and work out, they're still going to look better than i do. and then i give up.
i need some advice on how to stay positive and motivated, or at least how to accept myself the way that i am. i am tall and i have an ass and hips, because that's how i am. but rather than accepting it, i hate myself for it. i drive myself so deep into self-loathing about it that sometimes i can't leave the house because i'm so scared that people will look at me and call me "fat". i waste hours almost every day looking at my reflection and imagining how much better i'd look if my hips were smaller.
has anyone gone through a similar thing, and found a way to get past it? eh, i guess i really just need advice.
