I might just be making too many assumptions here but to me it sounds like you are trying to blame yourself for what you look like and for your girlfriend leaving you... It is ok to be proud of what you look like and it is good to be confident, so I would not call it bloated ego unless you...
It is very difficult to improve your self-esteem when you don't like how you look. And having low self-esteem prevents me from doing so much...
Distractions sometimes work but I end up feeling guilty for not doing something useful or for trying to ignore the problem.
I know I am probably in...
That is true but I don't think there is a big difference between how long I am going to live with my current weight or with my original weight since both were considered normal...
Living longer was never really a worry for me... Thank you for trying to remain positive though (:
My metabolism...
I know thinking about it won't help me but it is very difficult to not think about it...
I think the reason why I am so bothered about losing weight is because I created expectations thinking I would look better if I lost weight, when that is not true and probably just look worse.
It is a description that only makes sense once you see my face. Because it is so big and I have chubby cheeks I look really young when I smile but when I am not smilling, my bone structure and small, sunken eyes make me look very old.
I don't think it was because of my clothing style since the...
I actually remembered a time when my friend told me I looked like I was 14 but also like I was 40 at the same time, a couple of years ago. I was honestly quite shocked when she told me that because that was also what I thought of myself but just hoped nobody else could see. I was 17 at the time...
Hi! Thank you for your reply!
When I said I was on a diet I actually meant it as controlling what I eat so I don't gain weight, so I am not trying to lose any more. That being said, I would have to eat more if I wanted to gain muscle. I starting doing a short (~20 minutes) workout everyday a...
Thank you! I also don't know how or why I got so fixated on my appearance but I think it is because it makes me feel powerless... All I can think is 'wow people have to look at this face' or 'How can someone like me exist'...
Yeah, it is actually quite embarrassing to reveal that I am studying...
Oh no, that sounds awful!
I was actually quite hesitant about posting this online but I have only received supportive messages and I am very grateful.
Thank you! You too, keep safe.
Thank you! Complaining does make me feel slightly better but also guilty that people have to put up with me. I thought I would receive comments stating how instead of complaining I should be trying to do something to change who I am, I am grateful that I did not.
I will agree that female body...
Thank you for reading and replying, it is my first time posting on this forum and I was quite nervous about not getting any replies.
Before I used to not care as much and just accept that I was ugly but for a few months it is really all I can think about. How no matter how much I try this is...
Hi! I'm sorry for the rant but I just really want to talk to someone about this and hopefully get some advice, although most of this will just be me complaining.
I am a very ugly girl and it is starting to affect my life. My weight was always in the normal range but I've lost about 12kg...
