Question: How can i change my self image?

(Posted by: Maura on 2010-02-17 17:47:11)

Okay so I am a thirteen year old girl, five feet seven inches and 113- 115 pounds. I know im not fat, but sometimes I feel like I am just huge. Im not tying to whine or anything, but sometimes ill look in the mirror and just cry. Im constantly comparing my body to models and my friends. I used to be around 140 pounds then I lost weight so do you think thats contributing to it? how do i stop feeling this way?

U prob feel this way because of insecurities that might have formed in you when you were 140. Unfor in this society, being anything but skinny is equivalent to being heidous. Thus all of yearn to look like the "hot girls " and feel horrible whn we do not meet unrealistic expectations. The only way to change your self image is to be conent and happy with who u are. OF course u are still so very young. But I am sure u have ur talents. I am sure you have things that you enjoy doing such as haning out with friends, sports, whtever. Immerse yourself in ur talents and the things you love to do. Doing well will help you build self esteem and will positively impact every aspect of your life esp ur self image and happiness. do what u love and happiness and success will follow.
