Author: I’m 18 yrs old and over the years I have become VERY self-conscious about my body, to the point that I point out every flaw that my body has and I’m always looking for more imperfections to discover. I rarely feel pretty specially when compare to other girls who can wear shorts dresses or skirts because they don’t have what I have (varicose veins and stretch marks due to overweight issues from the past). I’m living a healthy life now but my self consciousness keep on growing every day.
Any suggestions?
books?
Honey all my life I’ve been struggling with my self stem and everyday is a fight in my mind to figure out where am I in Beauty. Look at you: you’ve lost weight, eating healthy, and you’ve brought yourself this far. Your stronger then you think and no one needs to tell you how strong you are. Have anyone of those girls worked as hard as you to get where you are now? Coco butter for the stretch marks and not sure about the varicose veins but I’m in the same boat as you so either I can hate myself or realize I’ma a queen.

Yeah, i know it’s very hard with low self esteem,
i still haven’t fully gotten over it myself,
but it helps,
when you see one of those girls who you may be jealous over,
just think that
they MAY have nice body, legs, whatever,
but that only means they may have a bad personality or a different body part is not as good.
and you’ll feel a bit better about yourself
lol,
try it out,
best of luck!

The best thing I can say is stay out of your head. You are your worst critic. If you allow yourself to put yourself down like that, you’ll never be happy. People, whether they know it or not, can tell when someone’s just not that comfortable in their body. So my advice to you is if you feel unattractive as you are (which you’re probably even NOT -.-) then instead of insulting yourself, figure out what you want to make yourself feel beautiful && do these things. You don’t need short dresses to be pretty. They have their good qualities/or strengths && you have yours. Figure out what they are, && use them to your advantage hon.

I’m 16 years old and have had many of the same problems. I started going to therapy a year ago, and now I feel great about my body and I can see the beauty in me. The funny thing is, although my looks haven’t changed in a year, I get more guys looking at me because I’m more confident. I couldn’t have half the confidence I have now without therapy, so maybe you should try it too?
Its okay to think you’re beautiful without being egotistical about it, and guys like it when a girl takes her flaws and turn them into beauty marks. Next time you look at yourself in the mirror, look at each thing you consider a flaw and say to yourself, "my flaws make me different, and being different makes me beautiful, and it makes me me"

P.S. I don’t need to see you to know that you are beautiful, everyone is gorgeous in their own way, but the ones who don’t realize it are only that much more pretty. =)
the best thing to do is not worry about your body so much. i know its really hard, but everyday when you get up, just say "im fine the way i am". you build your self asteem and builds your confidence at the same time!:)
thats so awesome!
i honestly know how you feel, most girls go through that kinda stuff and im glad you living a healthier life
hope i helped:)<3

Just believe in yourself. Hang out with people that make you happy and ones that will never put you down. INSTEAD of looking for imperfections, look for what you have that others don’t.. whether it be cute freckles or.. whatever you have. Be happy with what you have because that’s how you were made. I’m pretty sure you’re beautiful inside and out with an amazing personality so go out there and show everyone. It could be a talent.. (singing, sports, art) or even get a hobby.

Do something to make yourself FEEL pretty. Whatever it is, be happy and when you feel better, you will see the good things about yourself.

Don’t bring other people down to make yourself feel beter, thats just being a bully. God made everyone in his image and everyone is beautiful. If you call yourself ugly, then your calling god bad or ugly, and god is perfect. If you are comparing yourself to people in magazines, dont, everyone is there is fake and most of them look nothing like their picture. I hope you feel better about yourself! Nobodys perfect and the people that you see as perfect think the same things that you think about their body.

Hi,
Well first of all i have weight issues and are still very consious about looks. I use to be like you looking for imperfections in my body, wether it was my nails or even my hair. I have stretch marks everywhere and i have to deal with those in swimming training, and its a lil embarrasing. If you have lost weight you shouldnt be shy, and the stretch marks will go away, maybe get treatment like cocoa butter which helps get rid of them. Try little things so that you wont be ashamed, wearing diffrent clothes and just maybe hanging out with your friends. If your not ready to wear a bikini wear a tankini with shorts which helps show off a lil skin but not to much.
I know this might not help, but i know your pain, im still going through it, and imperfections are just part of my life, i try to not be concern about them and hey im 15…try to live a little!!!
