Do I appear chunky?

Interesting image

If you really do think you are fat and that you need to lose more weight? than you really need to see a doctor, you have a much bigger problem.

Also, how do you play guitar with your finger nails that long? As a string player, I know it's pretty much impossible. Unless your left hand is cut down short.

I was thinking the same thing. When I played I couldn't have long nails.

People on an internet forum can't give you what you're looking for. You are clearly seeking validation that you look great, and you do. But you don't believe that.

You need to work on developing you as a person to help you with your self esteem. Do some voluntary work or a part time course on something. Looks really don't matter in the grand scheme of life. Find a way to be comfortable and happy in your own skin and head.

I wish you well.

did a google search for the user name, quite a few posts asking the same question on a variety of communities.
Also found a video of her playing her music https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=mjlvQ4lg2qs. she seems confident. All i can think is someone trolled her one time saying she was fat and now she's looking for validation that she isn't.

Aaaaaaand the song is about how all she wants to look good for someone else. That's perfection. Pure perfection.

The only thing I'm pondering about the OP is when she will grace the forum with the next edition in this string of extremely similar threads that dates back to May.

Well, it got her some Youtube hits. She's a beautiful girl, I hope her issues aren't as severe as she's making them seem. What a shame to waste so much time and energy on what doesn't need fixing or even thinking twice about.

This thread is somewhere in the neighborhood of the 8th variant of this theme. It gets hard to tell with as many of them get deleted over the months.

I'm hoping she was hoping someone would do the detective work and get her those Youtube hits. If so, mission accomplished. Sadly, like many young men and women, she probably really does have horrible body image issues.

This is why youth is wasted on the young. Save those pics for 20 years from now when your boobs are racing each other to your knees and the cellulite starts sprouting all over your thighs. Until then, stop stressing and enjoy life!

Hey! that does NOT happen unless people let it happen. Don't let the lurkers think that the future is bleak. If you take care of yourself and your body, you will look just fine in your forties, believe me. I'm 43 and my boobs are where they belong and I've a perfectly normal amount of cellulite (small) on my thighs, thank you very much.

No doubt proper body care can help, but do you look as good now as you did at 20? I don't. Very, very few people do. And those who do have good genes as well as probably good nutrition and exercise habits. When I see pictures of me at 18 and 20 (before I had a kid, no surprise there), even pictures I was a little plump in, I can't believe I didn't like how I looked. I was pretty darn hot. Now. Well, not so much. That's what I mean when I say youth is wasted on the young.

I look better now than I did when I was 20.

Wish I could say the same.

It's entirely possible to still do. Heavy lifting is a huge boon to the body. When I could still do any form of exercising, a combo of cardio and squats/lunges with weight were my lower body's best friend. Upper body work with weight did the same for my arms and back. Because of that work, I never had to do a crunch or any isolation abdominal work - my core is solid on its own just because of the work I was doing overall, all of those things force you to use your core. When weight loss is achieved to goal weight with body fat percentage in a low range, and body recomp done with weights, you can have your best body at any age.

To look like I did at 20? No, not without surgery. I had a C-section for one thing. Also, while I'm nowhere near seeing my grandmother in the mirror yet, I see traces. I have a similar body type as she did, and it's aging similarly, and she was not overweight.

Not to say I can't improve it, though. Might even be some areas I can make better than they ever were. But even so, if I could get my old body back without having to take the ignorance, I'd do it! Even the slightly chubby version.

Thank you for your encouragement, though, I need a solid core for spinal support reasons anyway, no matter what it ends up looking like. And I'm not going to quit trying just because I have some areas only plastic surgery or a trip back in time for a body snatching will fix.
