How can I start feeling better?

[Anonymous]

I used to be kinda big. I'm 5'8", and about 118-122 lbs at the moment. So I know I'm not huge. I lost over 40 lbs. I'm glad, but because of it, my boobs hang a little more, and some days I still feel gross and chunky. I eat healthy and I work out..but I still can't help but hate everything sometimes. How do I get out of that mentality? My boyfriend helps, he's the best kind of person. And I want to believe

Well I think girls that tend to really care about their looks are setting themselves up for these feelings in a way. Believe it or not the media is consciously trying to get you to feel bad about yourself and insecure about your looks so they can sell you products that will make you happy supposedly. Then once you're super beautiful you can have a happy glamorous life. It's just not true though. If it were true why do supermodels feel insecure and what hope does the general public have?

The answer is not to look better imo. And honestly, being 20ish years old, it's mostly downhill from there regarding looks.

How ironic, I'm sure there are other girls out there that feel gross and chunky and hate everything because they are single and perhaps always have been.

Take it from me. So many girls would want that height and weight. You'll have days that you love yourself and days you don't. I am 5'3 and 176 lbs. even I have days I love every inch of myself. Whenever you feel "gross and chunky", and trust me, you aren't, just tell yourself "there's just more to love". And if that doenst work, I always find myself feeling better after a nice run. Hope this helps:)
