    just love your self the way you are right now and make sure you exercise to tone up. say a positive mantra every day, like I love my body, or whatever you are feeling that day.talk to your friends also. are you in counseling?

    This is the best fitness program to be on in the world!!!!! Not only does it offer an extensive database but it also adds a community to help you with your progress (its kinda like a gym meets FB) being on MFP is the best thing you can do if your looking to hit your fitness goals and improve your self-image, you've made the right decision. Back it up with work and you will start feeling more awesome everyday (not sure if that's gramatically correct but you get the jest).

    you'll definitely find lots of positive support, and motivation here. I wish you well with overcoming all the other obstacles, and congrats on the nonsmoking, and cessation of cutting. Hang in there, hold your head up, and tell yourself every morning that you are beautiful and that you deserve to be happy, & healthy. If you are not already getting counseling, maybe seeking a support group outside of the virtual world would be even more positive motivation. Welcome aboard

    I know how you feel. People are always telling me that they wished they weighed what I do but it's the stomach I have such a problem with and it gets very depressing when I workout very hard 5 days a week and do ab exercises and it never goes away. I just joined a couple of weeks ago but already have had supporters give me pep talks...lol. Good luck and best wishes on working on the other struggles which it sounds like you are doing great so far. You can add me as a friend if you'd like.

    Welcome to MFP, there is so much support on here and when the going gets tough, there is always someone around to offer help and advice, or just a shoulder to cry on.
    Feel free to add me as a friend:smile:
