Do you feel confident / comfortable in your body?

[MonmonTheGreat]

For example not all of us are slim, but it doesn't mean we can't be beautiful.

(Yes) I do feel comfortable and confident in my body. (Yes)

(No) I don't feel comfortable and confident in my body. (No)

(Skip) I just want to see how others voted. (Skip)

[little_rose]

Yes I am

Girl if you think being slim and petite is not frowned upon, I have some bad news for you.😔
I always get told I'm too slim to the point where when I was extremely ill and lost weight due to that the doc asked if I am anorexic. Everyone seems to think I don't eat when I eat A LOT. I just exercise a lot for fun mostly.

It really hurts at times.

But idc about other's opinions anymore. I have been talked down for having curly hair, being too tanned, my tendency to speak more French and a million other things AS A KID (like wtf). The irony is that the same people who taked me down are the ones who now fight for more 'inclusivity' and 'self-love'.

On vit vraiment dans un monde de barge. (excuse me for speaking my first language)

I feel lucky for being however I am. Fuck people man.

[MonmonTheGreat]

Yeah I understand what you mean, my weight have been a rollercoaster trough my life (I actually went from overweight to anorexic to overweight again), but luckily in the past couple of years I was able to get more confident in my body. Sure it would be nice if I lost some weight but I'm good the way I am, so I won't going to stress myself about it.

"I feel lucky for being however I am. Fuck people man." haha, that's a great mindset to have 😀

[kyleelyn199723]

I have the in between because I have body dysmorphia. Some days I feel extremely confident, other days I feel extremely insecure

[MonmonTheGreat]

Ah sorry to the hear.
If it isn't an uncomfortable topic, could you explain what body dysmorphia is and how it manifests for you?
It's 100% fine if you don't want to, I just like to learn new things. 🙂

[kyleelyn199723]

Not uncomfortable at all lol I basically don’t see my body for how others see it, so even if I gain weight I may look at myself in the mirror and think “oh I lost a ton of weight” or sometimes I haven’t gained weight and I look in the mirror and I feel like I gained 10 lbs. it influences me a whole lot daily. It makes me question about wearing certain outfits, how I look to other people, makes me eat less sometimes or even makes me eat more

[MonmonTheGreat]

Oh that sounds pretty difficult to deal with.
I hope somehow things will get better for you. 🙂

Personally I just had self image issues (I actually went from overweight to anorexic to class 1 obesity trough my life), but luckily in the past couple of years I was able to get more confident in my body. Sure it would be nice if I lost some weight but I'm good the way I am, so I won't going to stress myself about it.

[kyleelyn199723]

Well congrats that you overcame anorexia , I’ve been through it also 🙌🏻

[MonmonTheGreat]

Oh congrats for beating it. 😀 Anorexia is a b*tch.
If your profile pic isn't outdated, then you seem to be a lot closer to a healthy bmi than if you were still suffering with anorexia, so yeah, congrats again, it must have been pretty difficult.

[FriendlyDrugDealer]

I think have become the most confident in my body now as a person than ever before. I’ve gone through my body changes throughout my life especially throughout adulthood.


Over the past few years I’ve become more confident in my body not on looks alone but on ability as well. I took more appreciation that I can wear whatever I want and make it work. I’m in constant awareness of things that need improvement such as physical shape and healthier lifestyles but it doesn’t make me hate the present moment of my body either. Love yourself as you work on yourself

[MonmonTheGreat]

Happy to hear.

"’I've gone through my body changes throughout my life especially throughout adulthood."
Sounds similar to my case I had self image issues (I actually went from overweight to anorexic to class 1 obesity trough my life), but luckily in the past couple of years I was able to get more confident in my body. Sure it would be nice if I lost some weight but I'm good the way I am, so I won't going to stress myself about it.

[FriendlyDrugDealer]

That’s the way to be is be confident in your own skin while you improve it. It’s like I tell myself and others yes you are a unique work of art and you should have pride in that but even that can be better.

I’m happy you have that confidence now

[Wiredone]

I'm totally comfortable with my body. I don't care if other people like or dislike me. The only person I have to impress is my wife and she's happy with how I look

[MonmonTheGreat]

Now that's a great mindset to have. 😀

[Wiredone]

Thank you.

[Wiredone]

Thank you for the mho

[TruthBringer]

Absolutely yes. I've worked hard on my body to get it where it is today. Much so that my girlfriend always clings to me knowing I get eyes from other girls/women when walking on the beach.

Not being slim doesn't mean you can't be beautiful, that is true. Well at least to some extent, but obviously health is a major issue for those who are overweight or 'too' slim. And by you asking this question is an obvious psyschological indication that you're self-aware and not confident in your body.

[Smashingdoozy]

Sometimes I do sometimes I don't. When I'm feeling down about myself I just try to act as vain as possible and call myself hot. Fake it till you make it

[MonmonTheGreat]

Haha, that's a creative solution. 🤣

[Prettygurl12]

For the most part, yes. I have been blessed with a fast metabolism and, while it's slowing down and I gained 15 lbs over the last 3 years... that forced me to make the move from a size 00 pant to a size 0 so... I think I'll live 😭😂

[MonmonTheGreat]

Fast metabolism? Ah yes the ultimate superpower in life.
My weight have been a roller coaster trough my life (explained it in other comments), so 15lbs doesn't sound like that much of a fluctuation, don't worry. 🙂

[Prettygurl12]

Lol yeah... I could probably lose it if I wanted to but I got curves now which has been fun.

[MonmonTheGreat]

haha that's the spirit, I'm sure it went to all the right places.

[ChrisMaster69]

Yeah I do most of time, beach etc not so much,

a fair bit of scaring from cutting and scaring from major trauma back in 2012.

but I tend to just say fuck it.

[ChrisMaster69]

@monmonthegreat also, if that’s you, then don’t worry, you’re fine.

Confidence and saying fuck the world does work

[MonmonTheGreat]

Happy to hear, having a positive self image is very important.

And thank, I used to have issues with my self image, but for the past couple of years I've got over it.

[DianaWest]

i am about 5-10 lbs overweight. used to be 50 lbs heavier. i've lost a lot of weight since then. some days i feel hot, other day i scrutinize every flaw. i guess i am starting to feel better about myself though.

[MonmonTheGreat]

"i guess i am starting to feel better about myself though."
Happy to hear 🙂

[MCheetah]

Not at all. Besides being male, nothing about my body is good. I admit it being unattractive to women and short AF to myself. I don't care for it one bit.

@MonmonTheGreat, how tall are you?

[MonmonTheGreat]

Well if nothing else at least you don't hate your body 😅 I hope you will be able to see it in a more positive light in the future.

5'7" (170cm), why?

[Omario2049]

Why is this question always aimed at people who're overweight? That alone says it all. Fat people inherently know being fat is bad but don't want to muster up the initiative to not be fat so they demand that no one acknowledge their fatness. Beut we can't ignore it because we understand what goes into that, it means u're lazy, impulsive, lack self discipline and are complacent. People talk about sin but what about the deadly sin of GLUTTONY?

[TruthBringer]

Absolutely well said!

[Alejandro3000]

I dont feel confident with my body but if i go to the gym other girls tend to give me that confidence. I really want to go back to the gym but covid :/
Also i'd quite like a wholesome girl they are fun and cuddly aha

[ChattyGuy43]

I've overweight, I have never felt this big in my life and I feel embarrassed being over 100kgs, 80kgs is my lightest.

[MonmonTheGreat]

Ah sorry to hear, there are some great weight loss subreddits that can offer advice and support if you want to lose weight.

[pink_and_inlove]

No not really but even when I was skinnier I didn’t

[MonmonTheGreat]

Sorry to hear, I hope you will be able to get more comfortable with your body in the future, I'm sure you look wonderful. 🙂

[Anonymous]

Is that your picture? You should try to achieve a healthy BMI then you will feel as beautiful as you look.

[MonmonTheGreat]

Thanks for the advice, but I already feel beautiful.

I used to have self image issues (I actually went from overweight to anorexic to overweight again), but luckily in the past couple of years I was able to get more confident in my body. Sure it would be nice if I lost some weight but I'm good the way I am, so I won't going to stress myself about it.

[Opinion Owner]

We’ll try making some changes because in the long term it isn’t healthy for you.

[MonmonTheGreat]

I work out and exercise, so if my weight happens to go down then it will go down.
As I've said it isn't something to stress about since I'm not super dangerously overweight, just curvier than most.

[Opinion Owner]

Can’t really be good for you to be walking around with that extra weight. Trust me when I say that a healthy BMI will make you feel so much more confident and then you won’t really have to deal with some offensive comments about your weight!!

[Opinion Owner]

Well**

[Opinion Owner]

Typo

[MonmonTheGreat]

Well I know what you are talking about since as I've said, I was both underweight and "healthy weight" before.
I feel comfortable with being plus sized and even my dating life improved.

[Starwitch23]

Yes, I am comfortable in my body.

[MonmonTheGreat]

Happy to hear, it's important to love yourself. 🙂

[Starwitch23]

Yeah exactly! You can be any size if you're not happy. Then it's not worth it.

[MonmonTheGreat]

Yup, so true.

[Still-alive]

Im ok. I tend to not think about it too often

[Anonymous]

wow, she is large, like a truck

[MonmonTheGreat]

Rude

[Anonymous]

I feel comfortable looking at the body in the pic

[MonmonTheGreat]

No horny comments please.
