For the MFP ladies

I know that all of us have our insecure moments, when we wish we looked a little better, a little slimmer. When we wish we could fit into those favorite "skinny" clothes. But I've noticed an unsettling trend here on MFP. There are soooo many women who complain about how bad they look. Maybe it's a "men are from Mars, women are from Venus" thing, or maybe we really are our own worst critics, but I've gotta tell you ladies -- you're being waaaay too hard on yourselves. I haven't seen so many hotties online in a single place...ever! So quit being so hard on yourselves...you're all beautiful!

    I dont know about other women so much as I do myself....but I am probably my worse critic. It is a curse bc it is something not just said, but felt. I find this site to be encouraging to help us look beyond the weight to the psychology behind the weight. For many, the food or weight is not the disease, it is a symptom of something much deeper..... My opinion only of course. and yes...there are tons of beautiful men and women on here...genuinely wonderful:))

    I think the media is to blame and the fact that guys always love the "pretty skinny girls" ... sometimes it's hard to love yourself when you don't think you're good enough to be loved.

    Deep. I know.

    I agree totally. We make ourselves crazy thinking we have to measure up to something. If I don't lose another pound, I'm going to still feel good about myself. I'm happy with ME. :smile:

    My husband says the same thing all the time and for whatever reason I just can't believe him...he is supposed to tell me I look great...right?! Funny how sweet it sounds coming from someone else!
