Hey. I think there’s a healthy aspect to not being happy with being overweight, as long as it pushes you to make changes and be healthier. If all it’s doing is making you depressed and anxious, then it will just make things worse. That aside, you should never hate your body or feel ugly like that. Can you describe your situation more and how you’re feeling in more detail? Was there anything specific that caused you to feel that way?

Well, I ate a meal and felt really bad so I decided to go on a scale (which I avoided, because I was scared) and got very stressed about it. Then saw that i gained weight and felt horrible. Seeing my weight only made me see my body’s flaws more.

Hey, I hope you are doing well.

It's okay to gain some weight. Our body uses the energy.

Please don't beat yourself because of it. Try to be patient with your body!

I've been feeling the same way lately. I've always been thin but since the lockdown gained some weight from eating badly. Nothing fits me anymore and it can be discouraging. I try not to look in the mirror because I don't recognize myself.
