Why do I feel like I’m never skinny enough no matter what I do?

Why do I feel like I’m never skinny enough no matter what I do? I don’t ever really eat meals, just little snacks throughout the day, I constantly compare myself to others and the people I see on social media, even though I’m 18 now and weigh 10 pounds less than I did when I was literally only 14. I don't know why I have to hyperfocus so much on my body every day.

It's not uncommon to feel like you're not "skinny enough" or to have negative thoughts and feelings about your body, especially in a society that often equates thinness with beauty and value. However, it's important to recognize that these thoughts and feelings can be harmful to your mental and physical health.

It's possible that these feelings are related to underlying issues such as low self-esteem, anxiety, or depression. It's also possible that they may be influenced by external factors such as social media or cultural attitudes toward body image.

If you're feeling unhappy with your body or struggling with negative thoughts and feelings, it may be helpful to seek support from a trusted friend, family member, or mental health professional. They can help you explore the underlying causes of these feelings and develop strategies for improving your self-esteem and body image.

It's important to remember that everyone's body is unique and that there is no one "perfect" body type. Focusing on healthy habits such as regular exercise and balanced nutrition can help you feel better physically and emotionally, but it's also important to prioritize self-acceptance and self-care. Don’t compare yourself to others, you’re unique as yourself.

Because you keep comparing yourself to others which is a horrible thing to do.
