To me loving my body means feeding it healthful substances, exercising it regularly to discharge stress and pampering myself!
Also not putting toxic substances such as alcohol and cigarettes into it.

How I did it: I am 17 years old. My body began to mature at the age of ten and that is when the self-loathing started. I was bigger than all the other girls, I had fuller hips, bigger breasts, etc. I felt awkward and ugly. In junior high all my friends started dating, but no one was interested in me. I was made fun of when I was 12 for having stretch marks. I hated myself so much.Right before my first year of high school I started looking in the … Read how I did it…
How I did it: very very slowly. learnt a lot of lessons the hard way. basically the most helpful experience was totally crashing out and having to stop for some time. In short, I couldn't get a job after my master's degree and spent about 6 months at home with my parents, doing nothing, basically just sleeping and eating...then I finally what it feels like to be well rested and well fed...mostly I discovered the power of sleep! Now, I just know that th… Read how I did it…

How I did it: This happened while I was away in Shanghai. I had been feeling generally pretty low about my appearance and shape and all sorts of things. I was getting changed in the tiny bathroom of my shared dorm room and caught a glimpse of myself in the mirror. I usually cringe but this time I stopped to admire my shape. Weird, I know but I did. I could see that with a little healthy exercise that I had neglected there was a shape I loved and had al… Read how I did it…

Poor creaky ol’ body, smothered in fat.
kurkulis is back
A friend sent me a short video recently. I was surprised seeing how pretty I’ve been ten years ago. I didn’t feel like that at all. Maybe some of that prettyness is still here and I just don’t see it again… Anyway, it was a very pleasant surprise and it made me think.

of homely looking people just to feel better! i think this is why people become doctors, psychologists and the like

body, even “ripped” male bodies look gross. the trouble is guys look intimidating, the angular, square structure of our faces makes us look tough, unfriendly and scary, plus our physical size and strength, again make us look unnaproachable and unpleasant!
emeraldeyes82 is recooping from the flu
I’m smiling at myself in the mirror more now. I’m still not loving everything I see in the full length one, but I’m trying to focus on one aspect that I do love and emphasizing that each day. For example, I love my green eyes, the color of them and play that up with makeup. My nails too are long and healthy, so I painted them for the first time in forever. Once I’m feeling better (I’m getting over the flu) I will do even more to help see myself clearly and love my body.
I want to pay more attention to my body. Eat good food, exercise at least 3 times a week, learn to take better care of my hair.
I am a vegetarian but would like to start eating really nutritious meals. Right now I eat a lot of crap. I’d like to eat more unrefined pastas and hardy soups. Good, hardy, filling, low fat foods. Skip the candies and crackers and baked goods (although I love to bake). Also, I eat a lot of sugar.
On a positive note I drink a lot of tea, which is like drinking water. And I prefer being a bit curvy (although today curvy means “overweight”.. I am talking about classic pinup model curves) as opposed to being skinny, buttless, and boobless. Last time I checked men liked fat in those areas! I know my boyfriend does ;)
SumiresHeartStrings needs to make a start!
I want to know that an hourglass figure is ok in today’s society. I’m sick of comparing me with tall and slender girls, who always seem to be on magazine covers. I wish i was back in the 50’s, where girls like Marylin Monroe were deemed to have wonderful bodies.
cloudsandcoffee is making things happen
I already have a bunch of things listed that will contribute to this. My goals for this are:
- using a daycream
- using nice skin care products (body lotion)
- treating my hair good (masks,...)
- going the the osteopath (next monday)
- going to the doctor to get a check up
liked my body. I can always find a flaw. I would love to just find some inner peace and accept what god gave me.
