Girls do you feel a lot of pressure to be thin or fit? (Page 2)

Question

I am a recovering anorexic for almost 3 years now. I still have issues sometimes mostly comparing myself to other girls/women. I know I shouldn't do that and I should just love the way I look but, sometimes it's hard. I guess I was just wondering if I was the only girl that feels like I could look better or prettier or whatever.

I have this also, I believe many girls are worried about how they look and feel like they could do better, Many girls struggle with this.

Yes, very much. Sometimes it seems like that's all people want from you. I know it's silly but it still feels like it.

I don't feel pressure to be thin or fit, I think my body type is fine but I do feel insecure about my stomach sometimes

charms_glitter · Answer

i don't want to be skinny like skin and bones but i prefer to be toned but not buff... need to lose some weight though but not a lot. Being Filipino, older peeps always ask you about your weight and sometimes they will tell you "you look so fat!" LoL

I wouldn't call it pressure but more of them being insecure because of how soicety thinks girls should look and trying to fit into that sterotype but in that sense yes I guess it does create pressure and stress
