How to feel confident about your body?

[Anonymous]

I know I'm not obese but I always see myself as fat, I don't have a lot of Muscle it's more fat. I'm 15, 5'7 and weigh 125
I love how my friend can wear more crop tops even though she's more heavier than me. But I just hate how I look, people tell me that I'm fine and that I'm skinny but I just don't see it. My eating habits are messed because some days I end up eating very little while other days I binge. I'm afraid of eating junk food in front of my friends cause I feel like an fat ass. I just wanna be able to feel good about myself and be more confident about my body. My goal weight would be 110-115 pounds but that's going to be a while cause I'm 125.
Any helpful tips?

Hun you dont sound fat at all.
You sound about perfect.
When I was younger I felt the same way. I never felt like I looked good ever.
The first time I even tried on a 2 piece bathing suit I was pregnant. In my first trimester. I felt ok well there's my excuse to look like a cow!
Everybody was commenting on my 'bangin body' then the next time I put on my swim suit I looked in a mirror and was like damn I do look pretty good aside from pale.
But that only lasted like 3 months then I started showing. I was at 96lbs after I had my daughter. I felt hideous.
I got up to 105 and hated my body so much I started using adderall, then that turned into a meth addiction.
Im 4'11" I got down to 78lbs and was still self concious about my rolls. My size 0 pants were baggy on me, my small tshirts were baggy on me and I was still insecure thinking I was fat!!!
I went to jail for 3 months then a lockdown rehab for another 2. I worked out on a daily basis and that is honestly the only thing that ever made me feel comfortable with my body.
I even gained I got up to 120lbs. But I felt like I looked good I've been out of jail/rehab for 9 months now. I lost 15lbs and am selfconcious all over again. I feel like a heffer lol. And im sure in another 10 years ill miss my heffer ass body now!
Work out daily, get jillian michaels video and use it every morning! It will make u feel better
Good luck hun

Attaining your goal weight would simply mean dropping 10 to 15 lbs. That shouldn't take long or be too difficult. Find outdoor activities you enjoy doing. Swimming, bike riding, running, stuff like that that you actually enjoy so it'll be easier to spend an hour or so doing them and it should be easy to do them regularly since, you know, it's something you enjoy. I suggest checking Blogilates, too, she's online, all her videos and workout schedules are free and it's just an easygoing, casual workout setting that you can do from home.

I suggest focusing more on what you actually look like instead of your weight, though. So, if you see extra fat in the mirror that you want gone off your body, or spots you need to tone, focus on that instead of a number on a scale. Cardio burns fat, strength-training builds muscle, so you need to do both regularly. The strength-training will build up the muscles that are currently underneath the fat (and give you that fit toned look) and the cardio will burn the weight and burn off the fat so that you can actually see the muscles.

Go nude as often as possible. If possible work to becoming a resort nudist

1.) start by spending a couple of hours nude every day somewhere inside your house
2.) spend one day nude inside your house
3.) go outside in a secluded area and go nude for as long as possible, skinny dip
4.) work towards spending a day nude skinny dipping in a secluded area by yourself
5.) find a girl to go skinny dipping and going nude in a secluded area
6.) go with multiple girl friends in a secluded area
7.) go with mixed company for the full day. This should be with a guy or guys that you know are mature enough to not ogle you the full time and you trust.
8.) find a nude resort and have fun. Ideally one under AANR and even better if you can get in touch with one of their youth programs

You don't have to do all these steps, but the further you go the more you will love your body.

I'm 15 as well and 5'8. I weight 120 pounds and I actually am very proud of my body... it seriously ISN'T about the number on the scale. I'm an athlete and I have loads of muscle. Your weight is perfectly normal, but if you don't like your body don't sit around complaining about it... go DO something. If you hate how you look, you're just wasting time posting about it. The only person who can make you like yourself is YOU. No amount of "oh every person is beautiful blah blah blah" comments is going to fix your self image. And if you don't like what you look like, chances are there are plenty of things you can do to fix it. Try to clean up your diet. EXERCISE! Go running everyday and lift weights. You're in school like me so you can do school sports. You don't have to be fit to join a sport, but if you work your ass off you will become fit. You don't need to loose weight, 125 for 5'7 is fine, but if you don't like the way you look gaining muscle will probably help with your self-image.

125 is healthy. I'm also 5'7" and 118-120 ish.
Any less would be too small I think.
I used to be big. I lost close to 50 pounds, so it's hard to feel confident.
But, when I was lower, hovering 110, I was too frail and unhealthy.
I wouldn't go lower than 120 ish. Just really work at treating your body right. You're only 15, it'll still change

Lose the weight, see the bod. If you happy fine. If you still feel fat get therapy.

How? Lose weigh? You already said that others opinions of your weight doesn't mean much so get to the weight that YOU want... then you will feel better.
