It's hard to explain, but it somehow makes sense internally. I accept not being happy with how I look mostly because it encourages me to change it, and because I don't think I could ever be happy with how I look so I might as well just get over it.

Oh. I like how I look. Maybe a little too much for my own good, even.  Why would you WANT to accept not being happy, though? That doesn't make much sense.
As for me, I've never cared about how much I weigh. In fact, when I was younger (around 12-15)I was the opposite of most of you all. I always hated that I was smaller, and I always wished I had more curves or was taller. But I'm just now starting to accept and like the way that I am. Accepting yourself is hard but it makes things easier when you finally do. |

^^^^ awww dont say that. Beauty is in the eyes of the beholder.
You might not like how you look but there's loads of people that probably think you are soo pretty.
Dont be silly and dont let the world bring you down.
I dont like the fact that my arms are skinny but i got this tub around my waist. Yes me definitely trying to lose it.

I'm 5'7", 125 lbs, and a size 6. I'm eating less now though (not drastically less, just cutting out the extra snacks) and I want to lose 10 lbs..
I was running for a while but I just..I hate it now. Gah. The idea of running, I just don't want to at all.

^^ it actually sounds like you're a really good weight for your height. i'm almost 5'2" and about 115 lbs... and i think i'm at a healthy weight. if i lost much more than that, it'd be unhealthy. i'm pretty flat chested too, so none of that weight is up top. just make sure you don't go over board. then again, who am i to be talking? i'm always thinking i need to lose 5 lbs. so, i dunno.. just be careful

Shrubby, I'm about the same as you, weight and height-wise. Ideally I'd like to lose 10lbs as well ... but I'm going for 5 right now. I used to be at 120lbs. Grrr.
And Spazmatikal, I'm the same ... I don't have much weight at the top. I wish I did.
*sigh* I don't think I'll ever be satisfied.

Yeah, canadiana, we are. Health-wise, I'm fine, and I'm normal, but I don't like it.
and I hate having a little stomach pouch, or jiggly thighs, or chubby cheeks, or love handles.
It just agitates me, I'm a perfectionist so I can't stand having "extra".
Anyway. Today I went on a 2 mile run, then came home and danced like crazy to music for half an hour, did 95 leg lifts each side, 280 jumping jacks, 45 arm lifts each side, and then 45 elbow bends each side, both arm exercises with 5 lb weights. (Not all at once..I had no homework so I alternated watching tv, working out, going online, studying for finals, etc.) And I'm eating pretty well and making sure not to overeat.. I guess I'll do this for a few weeks and see how the results are.

^^ just pls dont stop eating.
I'd ideally say blah blah you got to be yourself and that, but suddenly I just feel very unpretty.
Erm... I'm not allowed by a lot of poeple to say that i'm fat for some strange reason. But then I int thin either. I been trying to lose stomach flab but its jsut hard and no matter how often I do situp and stuff, it doesnt go away easy. I dont even eat massive amounts either and I'm trying to cut down on carb as well. But its not been 100% successful yet.
I have lost quite a bit coz i do like karate and stuff but its slow progress.
I hate my arms. I hate my nose. I hate that my face seems to be too big. And my ears definietly are.
And why's it so important to girls that blokes should have these amazing abs and chest?
Its like girls and big boobs - its not fair.

haha that made me laugh...lol
I'm 5'6 and about 125/130 lbs. I'm pretty comfortable with my weight. I have shapeless lower legs though. They're like knee, then calf, the more calf, then foot. No ankle. Thanks, mom. lol I actually like my thighs though. They're nice and muscly now that I've been riding my horse non stop and doing cheerleading. woot. lol

I'd just like to say that big boobs are more trouble than they're worth. I'm a 38 D and I've finally become ok with that. I wish they were a bit smaller but not a lot I can do about it.

I'm 17, 5'5 1/2" and I weigh 104lbs. I know that seems pretty skinny but it's not. I would desperately like to lose some weight. I eat less than I used to and I'm finiding time to exercise. Maybe I can get into shape by the end of summer.

^ You're frame must be pretty small if you think you should lose weight. I'm only a tiny bit taller and weigh about 20 lbs more and I'm normal.

^^ I don't have a small frame. My shoulders are pretty broad and my waistline is 26. My hips are big. I hate my child bearing hips.

Just coz u weigh less doesnt mean that ur frame is necessarily smaller. I might be that ur bones are less dense. I know most people cant stand this bit of advice but: DRINK MILK! Even if u cut down on other stuff and snacks and that, dont stop eating high protein foods - eggs, some meat and hgih fibre foods - veggies. Its not how much you eat, its what you eat. Me - I think there is serious pressure for guys to have like super well toned abs and hefty tight chests. No one realises coz everyone's always only talking about girls and their problems.  Depression makes me hungry...hunger makes me eat rubbish...rubbish makes me fat...fat makes me depressed. |
