I have always hated my body from the moment I went to kindergarten to now.I am so fat.I would be considered chubby or curvy or whatever people want to say.But Im fat and maybe people will say "say fat its not a bad thing!" But it is a bad thing?? How do I live with myself.Ive lost weight after going through some binging and unhealthy eating patterns which I still have.But Im just so ugly???Losing weight is difficult for me and that's my fault.My mom is always like "watch your carbs" "dont eat that" stuff like that.I honestly do need to.On top of that I just dont feel like myself anymore physically.I want to be fucking pretty and cool and confident but im not.

I used to be really overweight with people constantly body shaming me, telling me not to eat stuff. Now I’ve lost tons of weight as well as gained muscle and improved my life, but I still have self value issues. So trust me when I say I absolutely understand what you’re going through.

I’m gonna give you the best advice I have and I’m going to tell you the truth:

Being fat is bad, not horrible

Being fat is ALWAYS a changeable factor in appearance

Being overweight is never the same as being ugly

Being ugly is impossible

Being ugly is a made up phrase by people who don’t believe in hard work

You are not ugly

You are never ugly

You can change

Everyone wants to be fucking beautiful

Being “beautiful” isn’t the amount of natural genetics you have, that’s being trendy.

Being truly beautiful is the recognized effort you put into your physical health and appearance as well as how much you have achieved

Being at fault does not mean you cannot be redeemed

Being confident is shit work to do

You don’t need confidence to change

Be the change you want to become

And about parents:
They want to shape you into their ideal person. They love that ideal person. I’m not saying they don’t love you or that you shouldn’t love your parents. I’m saying that don’t let ANYONE (including family) decide what you can and cannot become.

Love the version of you in the future for what you’ve achieved. Love the version of you in the present for deciding to do something. Lastly, love the version of you in the past for presenting you with an obstacle to overcome, leading to your future self

Stay determined and love yourself ❤️✌️
