how can you learn to be happy in your own skin no matter how much you weigh?

Question

Im not fat just a little overweight.

Answer 1

1. stop reading/watching media supporting paper thin people that disappear when they turn.
2. you need to convinvce yourself that YOUR ARE THE S H I T!!! and if other people cant see that then they arent worth your time and you dont need those people in your life
3. also try taking a short public speaking class it will give you self confidence and will make you feel better about yourself in result making you care less about how other people see you
4. but dont rule out a diet something that wont make you starve yourself but its always attractive if a person can keep up with themself

so GOOD LUCK!! :)

Answer 2

If you are taking decent care of yourself in all aspects of your life and overall respect yourself you will be more confident in everything, including your looks.
Start adding a few things at a time to your life.
Take vitamins
Workout at least 30 minutes 3 times a week (this could just be a walk for 30 mins)
Eat healthy foods at meals and allow yourself a guilty pleasure 1 time less than you work out each week (so if you exercise 3 times a week you can have 2 candy bars that week-but don't go overboard when you are defining a guilty pleasure (it doesn't mean a full fatty meal plus a huge dessert-just the dessert, if you eat the meal and dessert you'd have to count it as 2))
Remind yourself about how many people love you
Do nice things for others (a note hand written and received in the mail means SO much these days and it is sooo easy to do)
Focus on things you are good at gardening, art, dance, writing, reading, school, your job, whatever
Pamper yourself once a month or 2...get your hair or nails done or have someone teach you some make-up tips
Volunteer at a community event or your church (you could join the choir)
Just take care of yourself and you will know that even if your body is a certain size or shape it won't stop you from loving yourself. Your attitude is 99% of life...keep a good one and everything will work out for you.

Answer 3

I read this article in Psychology about why we precieve ourselves as not as special or talented or beautiful as others. Basically it is because we are constantly comparing ourselves with others. It is a pretty bad habit but since reading that I have really stopped doing that and just saying to myself how beautiful I am. Not that I am more beautiful than otherpeople but that I am satisfied with ymself. It is pretty crazy but it makes all the difference and people look at you in a much better light. When ever someone like my little complains about how fat they are I just smile and tell them that I am roud of my own body. Don't waste your time thinking critcial thoughts. You will end up wasting all the the beauty out there that you could be seeing.

Answer 4

Yes you can, if you accept the fact that you weight the amount that you weight and not care about what people think. As long as your comfortable in your own skin. You can be happy in your own skin if you seem happy in your own skin. You don't want to be nobody but you. You wouldn't want to switch bodies with nobody.

Answer 5

watch CSPAN. Our heads of state are fat as hell. If it's ok for our nation's leaders to be fat, it's ok for us too. :)

also, be less judgemental of how other people look. if you're not judgemental, you can come to expect other people to do the same for you.

and consider what impact it has on your life. If your goal in life is to lure hard-bodied young men, then perhaps you need to change your goals. or if your goal is to be a fashion model or work on tv. but if you're doing something else, your weight doesn't matter.

and if it makes you feel more secure, choose a partner who is of a similar degree of fitness, so you can feel that you're not alone in your weight.

Answer 6

Just know that you're unique.
Look in the mirror and say "I'm gorgeous!"
Every morning when you wake up.
Remember, everyone is beautiful and beauty is in the eye of the beholder.
My mom always said,"How can you expect to make friends if you're not even comfortable in your own skin?"
I'm not saying you don't have friends or anything, I'm sure you do.
Just saying what my mom always tells me when I feel that way.

Answer 7

Learn to love yourself, it's not about your weight, it is about you, your spirit. There are plenty of large women who are happy with themselves. They rein beauty inside and out because, they are happy with themselves. Don't get caught up in what someone else says about you or whats on the front of magazines.

Answer 8

confirm daily that you are ok just the way you are. sometimes it helps to have someone confirm that by being in relationship with you, but do not become dependent on someone approving of how you look, you need to know for yourself that you are ok. I know it sounds stupid, but with a little practice it can become normal. be ok with confirming you are ok. look in the mirror, and repeat to yourself that you are beautiful, it can be weird at first, but it'll help in the long run.

Answer 9

Go to a mirror look into your eyes(not at your eyes) and say the following as facts and your truth:

I love you.
I honor who you are and what you are.

Do this right before you go to bed and as soon as you wake up.

Answer 10
