Confidence crisis

To some extent I experience this myself. But if I were put in the basement until I was beautiful, I would just get fat and ugly. You have to get out into the world. If I was locked in the basement I wouldn't have any motivation to get hot... and you know what? Dancing is fantastic for burning calories!

So go shake what your momma gave you and make those boys jealous!

Hi,

Today its one of my flat mates birthdays and the idea of going out clubbing terrifies me as it seems I've developed a mentality that going out at my current weight isn't allowed and that I only feel it is acceptable once I reach my goal weight.

I was just wondering if any of you guys feel the same as me?

You know, you've done awesome already so go out and rock it likes its hot!
I know how you're feeling - I have a singing competition tonight and I was feeling a bit the same about it, and then I decided..."Well, I've lost 53lbs since this competiton started in October so why the hell not rock the thigh high boots!?"

You're hot ****! (That should be your mantra!)

Yep. Only recently have I started thinking I may actually look good when I go out. And I'm pretty sure that's just because I'm the smallest I've ever been as an adult, so in my mind I really am hotter than I've ever been. :laugh: And when I start looking around and being honest with myself, yeah, there are are a lot of girls there with really awesome bodies. But there are also a lot of girls there who probably **wish** they could wear a size 14 like me but yet they're still confident in their own beauty. So.. yeah, you're beautiful and you should go out and really enjoy yourself.

I have the same problem. But I find that dressing up (after i get through the crying episodes of finding something to wear!) and going out really helps with motivating me and giving me confidence. You can't hide yourself from the world just b/c your not where you want to be yet. Life is about loving yourself for who you are and for who you will become. Live for the moment My boyfriend is so superficial it kills me. He practically made summer horrible last year b/c he gained weight and refuses to go swimming with me. he won't take his shirt off for nothing ever! and he is constantly putting himself down. lack of confidence is a very big turn off! you can have fun and enjoy life regardless of what size you are! So just enjoy being you and feel confident in the body you have now!
