I hate myself.

I think I'm very ugly. My boyfriend says otherwise but, he loves me. of course he wouldn't tell me I'm fat or I'm ugly. He gets depressed when I talk about it. I am fat. I am ugly. It's all I can think about. I was pregnant a few months ago. I gained like 30 lbs and I was fat before that. My self esteem has gone down the toilet. I hardly buy myself clothes because I know I'll look ugly or fat in them. I cry all the time because of how I look and feel. I want to be skinny, but I doubt that will ever happen

    Listen to me and listen closely:there isn't a single human being who is "ugly", even the ones who are like deformed or whaterever can look really good! I knew a girl with a weird lip thing I don't how is it called in english (in spanish is "labio leporino") and she still looked gorgeous in her Qunceañera party.
    What I'm trying to say is that no matter how big you are you are still beautiful. And drop that "I'll look ugly in pretty clothes" anybody can look good in the right clothes. And maybe you should loose weight for health sake, but that's not the end of the world.
    If anything you should be grateful that you have a boyfriend that loves you and thinks you're beautiful, and a baby (I mean you were pregnant). Gorgeous folks would kill for that.
    So, don't hate yourself; you're marvellous just in the way you are.

    P.D. BTW there are many guys who think big girls are better, think about it.

      "What I'm trying to say is that no matter how big you are you are still beautiful."

      Sorry, Maki_P, but this is complete BS. It is useless advice like this that keeps people stuck in their current situation. The fact is that as a woman gets bigger and bigger (especially in the waist area), she becomes less and less attractive to men. As a man, I can easily see this, directly. You can't see this yourself, because you're a woman. But, if you observe social situations carefully, such as dance events, you can see this indirectly.

      This problem can be solved. I've posted practical advice, above.

    Being fat doesn't make you ugly , or being ugly shouldn't make you feel sad. You can think you look ugly , but I don't really think that you're ugly. Yes , I've never seen you. However I know that every single person on earth is beautiful. I don't know if you're and Muslim , Christian , Jewish or Atheist. However , you should think like "God had created us as beautiful creatures and we are all different". Adele is not slim , but she's still very pretty. Barack Obama is black , but he is still good-looking. I'm wearing glasses , but everyone say that I'm looking very good when I wear those glasses. These things are not big problems. If you're a nice person , it makes you the most beautiful person on the world. These sentences can seem a little bit cliche , but they're true. Just be a nice person , and rest of them will be unnecessary.

    You are what you think you are. Instead of wanting to be "skinny" set a goal on being Healthy and your dreams of being skinny will just be a bonus.

    Yikes. How depressing. Change things...find clothes that fit your body, and deal with the fact that you are who you are now. Bodies change, for the worse AND for the better.

    Your boyfriend is not "depressed" by this, he is annoyed by it. If he loves you, then he loves you inside and out. You should, too.

    Get a hobby. Exercise. Come up with a plan. Volunteer. Give blood. Get your ass out of that depressing gutter that you're stuck in. It's just a phase, if you let it be. Don't let it ruin your life or your relationships.

    You're beautiful. Look in the mirror and tell yourself what you like about yourself. If you need help getting started, have your boyfriend stand behind you and tell you what he loves. You'll start seeing it, too.

    Go to a gym, go for a walk outside, eat healthy food! Engaging in some kind of physical acitivity and eating good foods help you mental state and make you feel better. So, you can lose weight and feel better about yourself all at the same time.

  • You sound a bit down on yourself. Have you talked with your family doctor about your feelings postpartum?

    What you're describing is normal. But you should still be thankful for what you have. Most people want to be skinny in order to be attractive to others, and you have a partner who is attracted to you. He probably gets depressed when you talk about it because he hates seeing you so unhappy with yourself.

    I feel for you. You have been steadily gaining weight. You don't know why it's happening or what to do about it. People tell you to do this or do that, and nothing seems to work. You see others around you gaining weight, and it seems inevitable that you are predestined to live a life of corpulence.

    Don't despair. You can be skinny again. I've done it, and so can you. It just takes reliable information and a bit of persistence.

    The cause of obesity has been discovered, but few people actually know about it. It has nothing to do with overeating or lack of exercise. Obesity is caused by eating foods that are abundant in carbohydrates, particularly refined carbohydrates. Such foods raise the insulin level in the bloodstream, which promotes fat accumulation in the majority of people. Sadly, most nutritionists don't know or appreciate this.

    You can get rid of this excess fat by eliminating the cause, by going on a *low-carbohydrate* diet. This means eating foods that are very low in carbohydrate, high in fat, with moderate amounts of protein. Don't eat bread, potatoes, pasta, rice, pastries, or anything containing sugar or flour. Do eat meat, fish, eggs, cheese, and butter. Get one of the popular low-carb diet books to help you with this. Join a low-carb online forum.

    A low-carbohydrate diet is the only solution that will permanently solve your problem. Low-calorie and low-fat diets do not work, and are very unhealthy. Exercise will help you tone muscle, but will not get rid of the fat.

    If you want some inspiration, search the net for a guy named Jimmy Moore. He used to weigh 410 lbs, went on a low-carbohydrate diet, eventually going down to about 230 lbs. Look at his before and after photos. He now runs his own web site. If he can do it, so can you.
