So I remember I had a photobucket account, went on it and found a photo from highschool. Guess I was doing the typical taking sexy photos and just kinda having them on my computer just incase (whhaat??) ANYWAYS Im sharing this because, when I was in highschool, around 16-18, I hated myself! I thought I was sooo funny looking and fat.
If I could go back in time I would slap myself silly, one for taking these photos, too young lmao, and two.. LOOK AT ME!!! I even found one with abs!! Actually, Im gunna post it too right under. (real-time typing haha) There...
Dear 17yrs old me, you are ridiculous... look at how gorgeous you are! Stop feeling sorry for yourself and enjoy your life!
I hope im not sounding conceded.. I love myself now because I am happy with who I am, and Im comfortable. I got this way because I made the decision a couple months ago to be a healthy person. I still have some work to do but I am just happy with the fact that I am working on it, instead of just sitting and complaining.
I wish I would have done this sooner. I was lucky and had a crazy amount of crazy nerdy friends, the only pressure I got to look good was from other students/bullies in the school. Highschool was hard until I'd had enough.. still didnt think I was pretty, or worth much.. but I made up my mind that that was no way to live!!!
MY POINT IS!!
STOP! STOP STOP! Stop trying to be someone you see on tv or in a magazine.. dont focus on looking HOT and sexy for someone else.. Focus on your self-love.. Love yourself!! Be happy in your own skin!! Get healthy!! It feels gooood! sooo good! YOU SHOULD BE YOUR BIGGEST FAN!! Make it happen. Live your life! We only live once people... and God gave us this body... use it!! Take care of it!! It's all we got
xoxoxoxo

I agree with you totally!!! You have to become comfortable with yourself and F$@% everyone else that says otherwise. If you do not accept who you are or who YOU want to become then exercising and losing pounds will become very hard to do! Enjoy have fun and continue to strive for the goal you want.0 -

Exactly!! Thanks so much

As someone who has struggled with eating disorders for the past few years, I can really appreciate this! It's sad that we feel like we have to be so hard on ourselves.0

you look great back then but you look fab AND happy now too.
as for me, i remember all i wanted to do was GAIN weight in highschool because i couldnt exceed 100 lbs for the life of me.
how funny things change when we get older and we know what to appreciate now.0 -

there was a Meme floating around Facebook yesterday that said
"I wish I was as skinny as I was when I thought I was fat"
it's a funny thing, perspective0 -
I remember not ever thinking I was real skinny but I was when I was in high school. I wish I had more self confidence and assurance back then. Good topic!0

this is me at age 15 or 16. I did the same thing with the pictures lol I hated myself, and pushed myself to lose weight through crash diets. by crash diets I mean not eating anything but a tablespoon of cottage cheese every three days. I was a mess...
I feel like there should be a solid outlet for teen girls to go to when they feel like this, lead by women like us that have lived it.

I hear you. I had a girl tell me I had fat thighs in grade 6. I was 5'5" and 98lbs!!
She never outgrew her tucan nose haha!:laugh:0 -
This is so true. I always thought I was so fat all through HS. And really I was maybe 15 lbs heavier than I should have been but still I was pretty. And that did mess up my relationship with food lol. Yah girls learn from us!!!0

you're so so right :-) When I look at pictures when I was 16-18 I like how I looked (hindsight) - and NOW I am really not that healthy looking anymore... Even I don't wanna be so called "perfect" as women and men are on TV, placards, on every wrapping... I just wanna be happy with myself, feel comfortable and become fit again :-) I've always known that I am no supermodel - never wanted to be and never will be ^^
have a great weekend all of you :-)0 -
