    I like to think we "hate" ourselves because its an evolutionary behaviour to "be better"

    Just keep "trying" you know? "Survival"

    No matter where we are at in life - we can always improve, learn and grow

    well said K :) you have a lot of inner knowledge

    The amount of opportunities im missing because of my body image issues and insecurities is crazyyy. God I wish someone taught me how to love myself cause I do be struggling. Lmao pls drop tips to accept myself 😭😂 I do be struggling 💀

    i went through 50 years of feeling not good enough. it took several health crises for me to stop caring about my body image. the most important thing is being fit and healthy - no matter how you *look* i've seen your progress. be proud of what you've accomplished Lady! <3

    Oh wow I’m so sorry that you went through that and I hope you’re at a happier place rn because you deserve that. I’m proud of my progress , just not content with myself yet sigh.

    i'm still going through them on the daily - but thank you. i'm sorry that you are so hard on yourself. i hope you will get beyond the physical and realize your heart and health is more important than the physical appearance. i just hope it doesn't take you as long as it took me Uma ...you are more than that.... <3 i got tormented endlessly in gradeschool and in my family atmosphere for my terrible skin and other things. i had no support my way. MFP tho - in my experience after being here for a few years - has really been beneficial. but we all have to go through growing pains to find out who we really are *hug*

    Hate can not drive out hate, only love can do that 💕...

    Look at it this way, obviously you love yourself, or you wouldn't be so concerned with how you feel, you wouldn't get down on yourself if you didn't care...

    You do love yourself... Find peace in knowing that you do already love yourself and just want more for yourself because you love yourself...

    Then decide what to do from there if anything need be done at all... You're already more than enough...

    Mr. Healthy is Mr. Guru!! Love it!

    I used to hate myself, never ever felt as good as anyone else, always had that inferior feeling. Especially when I was around your age, Uma. That is 1 nice thing about getting older, less things bother you. You find different priorities.

    Find ways to help others, whether it be an animal shelter or helping a child learn how to read, whatever it is.....reaching out to help others gives you a good feeling and takes that negative self-image out of your mind for awhile. Whatever it is that you're letting define you at the moment, if you truly don't like that about yourself take small steps to change it. Confidence and acceptance will grow, self love will develop over time.
    You seem like a super nice likeable reasonable(that's hard to find these days!! :))person so think about your positive qualities, I'm sure you have many!!
    Good luck :)

    There is an app that can teach you just that, it’s called Sanity and Self.

    I have a lot of those " I hate myself" days. Once in a while, I have those " I'm the best" days also. It's all in the mind. And I bet no one cares what we look like except ourselves.
