    I genuinely hate the way I look. I'm at the heaviest I've ever been, and yes I am to blame. I don't eat a lot, but I don't do much. I kind of just sit around all day watching tv and junk. Diets don't work too well for me. I was on a diet for a month, eating right and exercising a ton. I lost a whole 4 pounds.
    My doctor even told me I need to lose weight and that if I don't, my life will be at risk. I hate shopping too. I can't find anything my size, and sure I go to Torrid (plus size store) and they have cute stuff, but $60 bucks for a pair of jeans, I cant afford that. Blah, just thinking about me and how I look depresses me...

    I'm really unhappy with my body at the moment, which sucks because I was really confident about it until around early June. I know I'm not at all "fat" (5'4", 105lb), but I've put on about fifteen pounds ever since I started drinking again even though I don't eat all that differently. Not happy about it at all, but it's a good motivator to cut back on alcohol.

    My body is absolutely disgusting, and due to my horrendous lack of self- control, I managed to gain 10 pounds and am now 175 and just 5'4". Almost medically obese. I wish I could starve myself like I did back in eighth grade.

    I was in love with my body three years ago, and then I gained around 50 pounds. I looked in the mirror one day and I was disgusted. I couldn't believe what I was looking at. I started dieting and exercising like a mad woman, and I lost 45 of the 50 pounds I had gained in a few months. I can't say I feel any better about myself. I hate that I don't feel the same way about my body as I did years ago, even though I look almost identical to how I did then. I struggle every single day to be alright with myself. :( I always promised myself I would never be one of "those girls." NEVER SAY NEVER. oh well!

    I can't really say I'm fat. And I'm not done growing, I'm freaking 13. But I do have flab hanging a centimeter off my belly below my bellybutton. It bugs me so much. I'm 5'1 and wiegh 104 pounds. I'm an itty-bitty person, but the flab bugs me so. I don't quit eating, and I always have exercise, but HOW THE FRACK DO I GET RID OF FLAB! I have extra curly hair and i wish it was straight, not to mention, I'm a red-head. So I get ginger comments. I'm not freckly, and have a pale, but nice complexion. (Other than a few zits I have from PMSing).My teeth are disgusting, and I can't get braces because not all my teeth have fallen out. That depresses me, everyone else's teeth fell out already! WTF?! Not that I have a lot of baby teeth, but still!. Ughhh.

    I had a lot of problems with self-image while and after I was pregnant with my daughter who's about one now. I'm almost down to where I was before I got pregnant, but I felt horrible about myself when I was bigger, whether it was 'cause my baby was in there or 'cause I was too stressed caring for a little one to watch what I was eating and to exercise...

    I look really ugly. Alot of me just hates myself very much because I screw everything up and can never do anything right. No one would ever really take a chance to get to know me after seeing me because of how I look.

    I think our society is surrounded and has been surrounded by beauty. I think in the caveman days or whatnot, women with wide hips and big breasts were pretty much the thing to be, because they could reproduce better. Men who were strong, muscular, and tall could survive and hunt better. You know what I mean?

    Then it turned into that you have to be pretty to be loved and stuff. Which screws with people's heads. It's easy to say, "Everyone is beautiful!" but it's pretty hard to believe in our culture...

    So I'm five foot four/five-ish and I do not look my weight. I fluctuate around 135. I used to weigh 125, but I gained a lot of weight by doing sports. I still wear the same pants size. I still feel pretty fat because of my weight, even though I'm still the same size. That stupid number gets at me and makes me feel horrible.

    I don't like my body whatsoever. I'm 5'7 and 165 lbs. I hate it. I don't look as heavy as I am though... I just have this flab on my belly that makes it so much worse than it would be... If I could get rid of that, I'd totally accept everything else. Im not bad looking in the face, so that's good:3 My dad doesn't like that I'm overweight and is constantly buying me things to make me skinnier. Like an elliptical, and a bike thingy, p90x all that but other than the flab on my belly, I'm okay with me. If that flab was evenly distributed throughout the rest of my body, I would be totally fine with me.

    I get that all the time. Everyone always says to me when I whine about my body that I'm skinny and they wish they had my body (granted most of these people are like, 40+, so they might just be pining for youth...)

    The thing is I just have a small back, so I'm quite narrow width ways and I'm not very curvy on the hips, and I have really big bones so you can sometimes see my ribs in my upper chest and my collar bone is massive, so from the front I look quite slim. But when you see me from the side I have a lot of chub on my belly and bum and legs and arms and eugh. The lower you go on my body the more there is....

    I hide it quite well with the outfits I choose, but when the clothes come off I just think how horrible I look. Sad

    I'm 5'3 and 137lb. I'm not overweight but my BMI is too high. I need to lose at least 10lb, maybe a little more.

    My December was full of "I'm so fat shoot me so you can't see my fatness" moments. As a result I started dieting and I cut my diet down by like 100 calories. I never ate much to begin with. My body isn't that bad though. My lower half is "big" but my upper half is tiny as shit now. I've lost nearly 20 pounds from the dieting so I'm not complaining.

    I think we all have good days and bad days. I know I do. Sometimes I'll do my makeup just right and feel pretty, sometimes I'll have no makeup on and feel pretty, and sometimes I just feel ugly. However, I base beauty on the face. Nothing else.

    I'm a little over weight and I struggle with self esteem. I'm 5'1 and around 150lbs. I went through a stage of starving myself but it got to the point where I was just sick of it. Some of us will never be rail thin and others won't have a full figure. We have different body types. They're all beautiful. We can't change everything about ourselves but if we don't like something that we can change, why not change it?

    The word change used to scare me too. It made me feel like in order to love myself, I had to change and meet certain standards. Now I know that changing is for myself.

    Everyone sees beauty differently. So if that's more of your concern - that no one will find you attractive - someone does/will. You'll be fine. Arms

    i hate people that are skinny and say that they are fat cause i'm self-concious. this generation only wants to see models and super skinny girls. And i like to eat mostly sweets. but i can't be like that. i am jealous. So people who are just skinny and can eat whatever they want. please their are other people who wanna be like you but we can't unless we diet. this generation really sucks. imperfect is me.

    The other day, I heard some bitch talking about how people with eating disorders are stuck-up and ungrateful attention whores. I slapped her and looked her in her cold, heartless eyes. I said to her, "You have no fucking clue what people like us have gone through, so don't tell us how we are."

    I have my good days and bad days, but I do believe I have body issues yes. I get extremely insecure about my looks and especially my weight. I'm not fully happy with how I look. Even though I'm healthy and in the right weight range for being 5'5, I still feel short and dumpy. I work out most of the time and eat generally healthy so I've been able to maintain weight, but I want to lose more, at least 10-15 more pounds. I'm insecure about my hips because it makes me look wider at the bottom and I feel like my thighs are huge. I can't tone them down no matter how much I work out and it frustrates me. I usually try to switch up my hair or makeup style and sometimes that helps give me a little confidence, but most of the time I'm stuck in myself and it sucks :/

    I'm very unhappy with my body. I'm very insecure about it, I refuse to wear shorts/skirts, and I don't have many female friends because I'm intimidated by pretty, thinner girls. Right before I joined the Navy I got down to about 170 lbs (From 220 starting 6 months prior) and I'm about 5'6"

    The Navy stressed me out hardcore and with not making very many good friends and stuff, I'd just sit in my barracks room and eat junk. My weight went up and down over the course of the next 4 years, and when I got out of the Navy, I was back up to 216 lbs. Well 8 months later, I'm now down to around 193 (when I last weighed myself) and I'm trying to get back down to about 170 or a bit lower. I have a pretty physical job (I work in a warehouse) and I go to the gym at least 4 days a week (And if I don't go to the gym, I try to ride my cheap stationary bike that's in my bedroom)

    The thing is, a lot of my body has a lot of muscle in it, especially my legs. I have big calves, but they're not really fat, they're muscular. Yes, I definitely have flab all around, mostly my midsection, but being more muscle than fat, it's hard for me to lose weight. I hate that I'm losing around 1 lb a week or so because I'm impatient, but I know 1 lb a week is good actually.

    I don't starve myself, because that's the worst thing you can ever do. I eat 3 meals a day, saving the worst foods for Breakfast/Lunch, then eating a light dinner. The snacking or lunch is really what gets me. I snack on vending machine crap at work, and if I go out to lunch with co-workers, we usually go to a fast food place. I try to go home for lunch more often though. Which makes me eat better/lighter, and saves me money also. I know that one day I'll be happy with my body, it's just my impatience is getting the best of me.

    As far as bodies go, I don't have the perfect body but lately I've been super keen on toning up so I can get my body to where I want it to be. I'm 5'10 and my limbs are fairly thin, it's just my stomach/love handles that are a major problem. It's so hard to go shopping when my body is disproportionate. And then my thighs are at a decent size, like I have a thigh gap - but I've always had one - so I suppose that's good. I'm at a healthy weight range but I hate that I can't wear the clothes that I want to in the fear that I look like a whale. In which I do, most of the time.
