I have high standards for my body. Is it wrong? Does it make me superficial?

[Anonymous]

I see everywhere people saying they're perfect the way they are and that's fine. I'm happy with my body but as soon as I see something I don't like on me (some belly fat, not so toned legs etc.) I'll try to do my best to improve my looks. People tend to tell me I don't need to do that because I'd still look good and men should like you the way you are. I honestly don't care about men, I do that for me because it makes ME feel good. Do you think it's superficial of me?

If you are happy with your body, and you are healthy then I wouldn't worry about it too much. There is nothing wrong with wanting to feel your best and ensure you are healthy. However if your friends are telling you that you are getting too thin, and its continuing constantly then check your weight etc. to see if you are still in a healthy rage. If so... then all good.

Of course not!!!

I mean there's nothing wrong with wanting to get healthier and be in better shape.
Wanting to be fitter and healthier doesn't mean that you think you're "unhealthy and don't feel comfortable in your skin".

I do like my body but I think there's room for improvement. That doesn't mean that I don't like my body the way it is now.

No, more people should be like you. I'm the same way and as a guy, I hate being told I should like the way afat woman looks. There is more to being heathly than just the looks and the problem is people ignore that and promote laziness. Props to you for loving yourself enough to admit when you could do better for yourself.

" People tend to tell me I don't need to do that "
They don't want you to try so hard because that make them look worse.

Ignore and keep it up.

Do whatever u wanna do or satisfy you.
Dont listen to others. Everyone will give you opinion according to their own perception, style, background, personality, way of thinking, their likes and dislikes. No one can put him/herself in your position and think like you can for yourself. So
Do what you wanna do
