weight loss + insercuirty

I've made it a habit to look at myself in the mirror and compliment something new about myself everyday. Even if it's something I still don't like, I try to make it a positive. "I love how my stomach is shrinking!" Part of weight loss, I've found, is having a positive attitude about everything, even things you don't like.

Self esteem isn't about your body, it's all about what is in your head. There are a lot of skinny girls with low self esteem too. So, work on your whole self, not just your body.

GREAT ADVICE.......

So basically i always look in a mirror and just feel fat and ugly my boyfriend always tells me how beautiful and sexy i am, but i never believe him. So for anyone who has felt the same then lost weight, does it help? does it make you feel better? since ive started on this site i feel much healthier and every time i do exercise i feel better bout myself but i still feel insecure

A friend and I recently had a lengthy discussion about this and he pointed out that over 90% of women have difficulty with confidence. It's changing a mindset and learning to love yourself in the process. I have very low self confidence when it comes to my appearance. Although my goal weight is still far away, I am working on accepting compliments as they come and believing in myself as I do in other aspects of my life.
