Girls how do you deal with your own weight issues?

[Anonymous]

For some time I thought that some people didn't have those, especially elite athletes such as olympians. I thought that at this point in an athlete's career, one would be confident enough in his physical skills to overcome any image issues.

I'm a swimmer so my shape isn't the leanest despite my high fitness level. I'm never fully satisfied with how my body looks like and I do look up to olympic swimmers. Today I read Amanda Beard's biography and learned that she dealt with bulimia and cutting throughout her swimming career because she didn't like her body and thought she was fat. It surprised me a lot that she dealt with those issues despite her swimming professionally and looking like this: link

How do deal with your weight insecurities? Are you satisfied with your looks and figure?

Everyone has insecurities. nobody's perfect. just be confident about yourself. stop obsessing so much for things you don't or you can't have and focus on what you have like great skin/boobs/firm thighs or arms/ nice ass/ beautiful face/ being tall etc..whatever you have there(and I'm sure each and everyone of us has something) and stop comparing yourself to everyone. you're YOU. just be healthy.

me, I just tell myself everyday that I'm beautiful because I'm healthy...as long as I'm not overweight.

i don't think I'll ever e satisfied with my looks, but I deal with it somehow.

i try to eat clean and workout regularly...that's all I can do, really.

this question bothers me... I am sorry you feel this way. I have always thought swimmers were hot. I like the V.

When people look at you(in general), they actually don't really care what you look like.
