I know a lot of people who say that the expense is worth it no matter what. I'd like to add my opinion that "If you have the money, then it doesn't hurt to try it." If you're maxing out credit cards, or taking on a second job to do crossfit, then that's just pure stupidity. However, if you have extra money after paying the…

She was just shocked because my arms now are really tiny and that's not something that people with small arms usually have. my arms used to be huge, but she didn't know that.

I used to be 220 (down to 135) and I have the same problem as you. My arms, legs, breasts, and stomach are covered in stretch marks. Most days I feel like a zebra. I really hate it. I avoid shorts and tank tops because of it. I went to a dermatologist for an unrelated skin problem and she actually gasped in shock when she…

5 Foot 3 Inches. My goal is to be 120. I'm currently 130. The last 10lbs are the hardest! I also severely want to reduce my body fat and gain muscle. That's my biggest challenge right now.

My problem is exactly the opposite. I've received ZERO attention for the opposite sex. Fail :(

Ahhh yes, the dreaded confidence problem. I have absolutely none haha My stretch marks are mainly on my arms and legs, with some around my navel. They're old, white/silver marks so they don't show in photos much. But trust me, they're there. My dermatologist was actually shocked by them. she gasped when she saw them for…

That's kind of what I'm afraid people will think. The bottom is a black skirted bottom, so it doesn't look much different then the shorts. I also bought this tankini in case I'm too chicken to wear the bikini in public

Skinny dipping ;P

I have this same problem ugh. Although mine is a lot more noticeable then yours. I just want to make it go away. :(

I once had someone tell me that I was so ugly that I should just die. Lowest blow I've ever experienced. it really cut me down. It's been over a year and I still think about it once in a while. cut those people out of your life if you can, they aren't worth it.

I work in a supermarket. The whole thing is food haha

Bikini for me. I've never worn one in my life. I bought one. so far I've been brave enough to wear it in my backyard tanning when I'm home alone. I don't want anyone to see me in it yet. I'm nervous because I don't think that I'll ever be ready.

Whovian! I am now adding you as a friend :D

I'll be starting my senior year this fall! I'm going for my undergrad in business management. So excited to finally be done!

Hi, feel free to add me! I'm a 23 year old college student. In high school I peaked at about 220lbs. I'm down to about 132, but my goal is to be 120. I've been struggling a lot with self image lately, and having nobody to talk to. I'd love to be your friend and diet buddy :)

Thank you so much. This post was very helpful. I do have a specific goal for myself. I want to wear a bikini for the first time ever ( an feel comfortable doing it). To me it seems like the scariest thing in the world. I already bought the bikini so there's no turning back now. As an extremely broke college student I can't…

Thanks for the advice and support everyone. I'm shocked, I wasn't expecting to have so many responses. Most of you had very nice things so say and I really appreciate it. It's very hard for me to see good qualities in myself. I want to work on that and feel happy again.

Our friendship has been fading for awhile anyway. She's always interested in going out and drinking on he weekends. I'm more introverted. I used to go out with her but she would always criticize my hair, clothes, and makeup and said I was making her look bad because I wasn't put together enough. It got too frustrating for…

I have been talking to a therapist about my negative self image and jealousy issues. She keeps trying to reassure me that these are normal feelings that many people face, and that they will go away with time. I'm just having a hard time believing it. Also, I wouldn't ever really wish bad things upon my old friend. It's…
