I'm 5'7 135 lbs. I know I'm pretty thin, but having been around a lot of model looking people in my life and I feel huge compared to them. I think it's also because I've always been tall. Growing up I was especially tall, and my best friends and even my sisters are much shorter than me. Now I am 22 and I don't feel good about the way I look. I also have pretty bad acne, which doesn't help. I feel like people are always looking at it when I'm talking to them, even though I know it's probably not true.
I eat really healthy, and enough, but I still feel like I need to lose weight. I feel like if I could just be a little more confident about myself I'd have the energy to exercise more and get toned, which I think would make me feel a lot better than losing weight would. I'm also doing really badly at work. I don't have much confidence in any area of my life anymore. I also feel tired all the time. What should I do?

Well, I don't think weight is a problem. I think you are doing good with that. You might need to take care of your acne though. Try going to a specialist to see if they can help with your acne a dermatologist would be able to help in that area. You may just be a little depressed because of your situation at work. This happens sometimes when work is bothering you and it can affect your personal life. You may need to think about trying to find some help at work to find out what you are doing wrong. If you don't know anyone that can help then try to find another job that will make you happy. It can make all the difference in the world if you aren't happy at work. Maybe you just need to talk to some to find out what is really bothering you.
Cheer up!

Get a hobby or class going--something fun like knitting or wall climbing or yoga. This will give you an interest area outside your day-to-day existence and some new people (not model types) to be with and enjoy.
As for your acne, you should see a dermatologist for solutions and try to keep your hands away from your face most of the time.
It's important to love yourself, just the way you are, and consider anything more you do to be icing on the cake!

Look at yourself and love the things you know are good. Are you muscular? Take pride in your strength! etc Weight fluctuates through life. DON'T judge yourself by your weight. Keep it in perspective.
