I'm in the 8th grade. I'm a 5'6 girl and I weigh 156 pounds. Every time I look in the mirror, I am always reminded of how much I hate how I look. My insecurity started in the 6th grade when I started to put on weight. It also didn't help that in gym class bmi was a thing and I am classified as overweight. It has only gotten worse since then. I have considered anorexia. I just don't feel like I can accept myself. Everyone in my life has always been so supportive of me, but none of them know the internal struggle I have been going through. Every time I sit down to eat a meal, it's like there's a notification in my head saying,"Are you sure you want to eat that? You're already fat as it is, why put on more weight?". I know it's not healthy or normal, but I can't stop myself from feeling this way.
Any advice?

Hi, fellow "not happy with my weight" girl here :) I know how you feel. My dad has called me fat and reminded me of how fat I am since I was a kid, so that put it in my head early on. I have been working hard these past few years to figure it out, and I have figured it out for myself. I live how I want, I still eat carbs and sugar, but (and yes, it is cliche) in moderation. I have also found a love for the gym I never had before. Do you like to swim? Maybe go to the gym and swim. Dance? Take a dance class. Or heck, put in some earphones and walk. I have found even when I don't lose weight like I want, the exercise makes me happy and feel better about myself because I know I am trying. Just know, you are not alone.
ReplyThank you so much! I'm a dancer but I find it difficult to lose weight. I feel like I don't fit in or look like other girls my age. Thanks though, your comment brightened my day ❤

weight means nothing! honey, some of that's muscle, y know.
don't listen to anyone, seriously. if you want to lose weight, do it slowly. it's a process.
