I know where I need to start to feel better about myself
It's half 3 and I gotta go study.
yay!
xo
I realised it's cos i've got chunky and everything feels wrong. If i'm uncomfortable i get stressed and i start thinking everyones looking at me when they probably aren't.
Aww! Thank you!
I've been feeling much better today because I've had a lot of lovely support from you guyses.
Let's hope it can stay that way! At least, for a little while longer
yeess
man, i havent been so determined in so long to be awesome
i want to be awesome
yes i do
eta: not that i know you, but you're meant to think this of yourself already.
infact, i`m going out tonight and i`m in a foul mood because nothing looks right!
if i`m not going anywhere, i literally sit in my pj`s all day because i cannot be bothered with the depressing chore of finding something to wear!
so i cant really give you advice, because i`m the same, just remember, theres always someone uglier and fatter than you! lol
its a vicious cycle, nothing looks right, so i feel fat/ugly which lowers my self esteem, what part of that dont you get?
she actually mentioned clothing as a source of her low self esteem in her first post....so it`s not just me
I gotta go pick out a dress or something for the Xmas work night out...so that should be interesting to say the least.
I think I like to blame my poorness and my clothes for the fact I feel like shit sometimes before I go out. When really, I just gotta give myself a good mental slap!!
Iwish, your not ugly.
calm down love.
if you don't look right in your clothes then clearly you're buying the wrong things.
of course i look right in my clothes, but i`m sure a lot of people have days when no matter what they try on, they feel awful
people say i look nice so its not a case of buying the wrong things, its about how i feel, which is low self esteem
yes.
I'm sure you're beautiful.
I don't get the whole 'being thin' thing with women... I've seen a lot of wonderful large women who dress so well and have an air of grace about them. It's like the media tells us we should look a certain way, act a certain way, but then those ways don't always reflect reality and let's face it... It's all about making money for big companies anyway, that's what I think.
Same as I know some people who dress in a way that makes them unique, quirkiness can be cute ya know.
I went out with my friend who I normally always feel UGLY next to (she has lots of pretty clothes AND had just had her done)
But I felt freakin amazing! And had a fantabulous night
Starting to feel good about myself.
Let's see how I manage tonight with my very uniquely fashion conscious flatmate! x
