i am never good enough for myself. it doesnt matter what i do, ill always hate my body.
ive struggled with bulimia because i have always hated my body. my entire life has consisted of me never being happy no matter what weight i am. recently i lost about 15 pounds by exercise but i still hate my body. i look in the mirror and just see the things i hate, like my belly. i feel like the same person as before. like i said before, i struggle with bulimia, but i work hard at it. what i want to know is do you think im anorexic? i must say though im not skinny. and i feel like only skinny people can be anorexic and bulimic, so thats one of the main reasons ive never told anybody about it. i feel like if i told someone then they would think like "wow, you would think that she would be skinnier if she were bulimic."
idk, i know most women hate their bodies so maybe its sorta normal. like i said, ive never told anyone about this or any of my weight issues. everyone knows me as the funny, laid back, no drama chick. i also have a really hard time opening up to people about stuff because i hate feeling vunerable.
i just want to look in the mirror and be happy with myself no matter what i look like. can anyone help?
Tons of woman all over the world feel the same way you do. Don't think about other girls, and how they are anorexic, or bulimic. You need to take care of yourself, and yourself only.Think of it this way, if you continue being bulimic, or anorexic, you will actually end up looking terrible, your face will be all saggy, and you will be just skin and bones! There are ways to get healthy without these extreme actions. When you look in the mirror next time, point out something you do like about yourself, such as your eyes, or your lips, or even your hair color. Everyone has at least one thing they like about themselves. Also, let your personality shine through past the way you think you look like. After you wake up every morning, say one thing that makes you special, such as your sense of humor, or how well you treat your friends. This will eventually make you feel better as a whole. Good luck, hope I helped! If you'd like more advice please let me know, but I highly suggest seeking therapy for what you're going through right now. I can help, but only to an extent. Remember, beauty comes from within.
