So much pressure to be skinny

Don't starve yourself. That's only doing the opposite of what you want. You need to exercise and eat healthy. When you starve yourself, or deprive your body of nutrition, you're body literally goes into starvation mode, not knowing when it'll get food again, therefore when you do eat, you're body saves up more fat for fear of not getting food again. Basically, you're on a reverse diet when you starve yourself. I know a girl who does the same thing, and she wonders why she gains weight instead of losing it. Then she looks at me, who, at 5'6, I know I need to lose some weight, and I go to the gym and eat healthy. I don't deprive myself of the foods I love (chocolate, burgers, pizza, that sort of thing) but I keep it all in moderation. I eat when I'm hungry, and I never wait until my stomach starts making noises.

Go to a gym, do cardio, if all your concerned about it being thin, you'll never be happy. I've learned from 3 months of daily workouts, that being healthy is so much more important than being skinny. People don't believe I weigh what I weigh, but I do mostly weights and cardio. I've lost inches more than weight, which doesn't bother me. If anyone has a problem with it, that's their problem. I'm working on being comfortable in my own skin, not impressing other people. I wear the clothes I'm comfortable in, without worrying about what's "in fashion". But that's just me. You have to realise that in order to be happy with yourself, you need to look at who you are, not what you look like.

first off

starving yourself is never the way to go

and if people are telling you that you aren't fat odds ar they mean it

people close to you won't lie

you need some help with the self-confidence

raise your self esteem

you are a child of God

and we we're all created in his image

the Lord doesn't creat junk

you are beautiful

and it is important to know that

as far as loosing weight fast

i honestly don't know of a healthy way to loose a lot of weigh in 4 days

honestly, if you work on what you eat

and make a few trips to the gym a week, you'll be fine

spend a little more time outside and a little less on the couch

you'll be fine

you are a child of Christ

and that alone makes you beautiful
