What do you do when you look at yourself in the mirror and can not find one single solitary thing about yourself that you like ?
It is horrible to say, admit and feel, but there is not a single thing about myself that I like, everything is wrong with me, from my weight, cellulite, thinning hair, saggy this that or the other, crooked nose.....When I was young I did not feel this way, actually I never thought about my looks one way or the other, I was 110 pounds, had long hair, no cellulite and never considered my body much at all.
Now at 50 with changes that come with age, I have so many things that I hate about myself, my looks and my body that I now do not like having any pictures taken of myself and have taken to wearing headscarves, being old, fat and balding is just not what I want to be.
Welcome to my world! I swear this sounds just like me! I really have to push it to find things about myself (mentally and physically) I like about myself. BUT I force myself to, even if it's the fact that I think I have a cute belly button, or my toes are cute--although weird, they're still cute. We have to learn to accept the way we are; sags and all and it's **** hard I know. Even if it's the smallest little thing we can find to like about ourselves. I'll be 50 this year and I just never saw it coming. I want to know where that girl went that could wear tight jeans and not have five rolls over the top of them, the one with the long brown hair and smile on her face.
Thank you Brenda for reading my words and finding that they made sense to you rather than just saying that you are sure that I look great and I should just get over myself.
LOL, you're welcome! I know that there is beauty in all of us, somewhere and I know sometimes it's harder for us to see it because we are always our own worst critics.
im 21 and i hate my body, some people love how i look, but others, like the boys i went to school with, and my sisters, always use to pick on me, calling me fat and ugly, i was kind of an ugly duckling, i grew up got boobs, bascily filled out, and got "pretty" i guess, i look in the mirror and i see a fat ugly girl, still. i dont think ill ever love my body fully, even if i do loose this weight, but i eat so much, and i dont have time to exercise, and besides working at the hospital, walking all day seems to be alot of exercise to me, lol. but anyway, altho people like me and you dont veiw ourselfs as beautiful, or even decent looking, we are, and as long as we are beautiful on the inside and atleast pretend to be confitant in ourselfs, than people will respect us, and not judge us for not being as thin or pretty as the next woman, good luck sweetie :-)
