How can i feel better about my body?!
Question: How can i feel better about my body.?
hi everyone!
im 20 years old, 5'4 and 130-something pounds. i know im well within the healthy range for my age and height but im very unhappy with my body. my fiancee LOVES it and cant get enough, and although i take stock in his opinion, id like to love my body too. im curvy, and when i say curvy, i dont mean fat (as many overweight people commonly use that term to make themselves feel better about being unhealthy), i mean im thin on top but i have a butt and hips. im a size 11 but nobody believes that. last week i was shopping for jeans and asked the girl who worked there if they had any size 11's in one pair of jeans i liked and she gave me a really awkward look and said "theres no way youre an 11, im a 5 and you look smaller than me!"
obviously i dont look hideous to other people but i have a hard time accepting my body. how can i feel better about my body and learn to be happy in it so long as im healthy.? id like some tips other than just "exercise if you dont like it", so i can be happier on the inside (mentally).Health Question & Answer

Answers:
Maybe buying a new outfit or sexy lingerie.
Dancing in the mirror wearing sexy clothes is always fun for me and lifts my mood and body confidence. I don't have a man right now, so somebody's gotta get a show haha ! Whatever everybody does it I'm just one to admit the obvious :)

stop comparing yourself to other people. sorry hun, but there are girls out there who will be either smaller than a 11 or a 5 or bigger than the two, and still look better than you...so drop that whole idea. and secondly, try focusing on your good qualities...all of them! not just the fact that you're healthy. is that all you have to you.? find out more about yourself to love.

Take a step back look at the system once you see how it works then you can opt out.
1. The media shows us our ideals, what we wish to become (super models, weightlifters etc.)
2. The media then shows how we can achieve these ideals often falsely.
3. People buy the product and they find that often it does not work.
4. The reason these ideals these prefect people are held in such high regard is because their position is difficult to obtain.
5. People are drawn even more to the TV people because at least at a subconscious level the realize how hard they had to work to achieve this level of perfection.

Ok, this advice is going to sound way awkward, but do it. Seriously.
Get your clothes off, or put on a bathing suit, and stand in front of your mirror. Think about what makes you a beautiful woman. Don't think about what others think of your butt or boobs, or this or that, think about how YOU like them. Notice how you look nice from different angles. Think about your cutest outfit and why it looks good on you. Think about the awesome things about your figure. You have great hips, or something like that. Or your butt looks awesome with your cutest undies on.
Do this ritual regularly, and STOP yourself if you start to think, "oh, I'd make my butt less big" or "my legs are too this or that.." only allow yourself to think about the good things that you like. Don't compare yourself to other girls who have different figures than you. Women are like snowflakes. Each of us is different, and that's what makes us awesome.Health Question & Answer

the thing is that you have to accept yourself the way god made you. tell yourself you are beautiful everyday and tell yourself all the attractive things about your body.. everyone struggles with confidence you just have to know how to control itHealth Question & Answer
