How do you learn to love yourself mentally if you hate yourself physically? This is the problem that I face on a day to day basis. Any advice will be helpful. Thanks MFP'ers!

    You can't! So you need to decide which you like better- hating your image or loving yourself. I hope you'd choose the latter and if so a huge part of loving yourself (or others for that matter) is acceptance. Work on accepting that you are not perfect and that its ok not to be. The rest will fall into place.

    ^^^^ Yep. I LOVE MYSELF. It wasn't easy but I do I'm funny and weird and my dogs seem to really dig me. I have a great groups of friends and family that I hold dear and they wouldn't be there for me if I wasn't awesome, right? So, I do love myself. I'm not happy with the way my figure looks all the time BBBUUUTTT that doesn't mean I beat myself up about it I just look in the mirror, and say You're awesome, now go to the gym ... Hahahahahaha
