Some venting
So hey So I've been having an issue with my body image for a long time (like 4-5 years ish) like.. I'm ashamed to say that but I crave to be skinnier when I see people who are skinny in an unhealthy way I feel really jealous of them sometimes I can ignore the urge to just stop eating & lose more weight (I eat and all but still think of the weight I'll gain & how I am a failure for not being able to do a simple thing even though I'm slim) and other times I just apply what I was thinking of ( some times I stop eating well from couples of days to around 2 months) last 2 days I started counting calories I was thinking of doing that for a long time but I did it I downloaded an app that helps me detect how many calories I have consumed and again not proud to say that but I felt so happy when I saw how much I consumed (around 800cal) like I'm hungry and always sleepy that may sound stupid af but I never thought of linking my poor diet to the fact that I'm always sleepy and can't do my work Which really affects my life like I waste a lot of time sleeping without getting my work done in time I try to convince myself to at least eat more temporary then go back to usual but oh well it didn't work. My obsession with being slim started sooo long ago I always think that being extremely skinny is the best I see people online I get jealous I got shamed a lot for just having thighs "all what you do it eating and growing them""can you stop eating like a cow" I *** have them I wish I could rip them apart look I know there are people who are struggling more I know there are more severe cases I know there are people that are dying from that I'm not claiming to suffer w lot ot anything I'm not seeking attention at all I just wanted to get that off my chest bc my eating habits r the least thing I'd talk to someone about
Have a nice day ❤️

Being slim isn't about beauty. It is more about health. On average, People who stay within their body and weight ratio are healthier and cope better with illness/unexpected health related stuff. Try not to let your view of your body determine your worth and affect your well being.
It is better you stop comparing yourself or even feeling jealous over online people. It is all about posture and lighting that create the image. Just think of it this way, some skinny people actually don't look as pretty as their picture. It's makeup and the angle. Once you take that away, there are so many flaws or thing you wouldn't find attractive or things you rather your ideal woman/man has. Everyone has pro and con to their body. And you never know which one went under the knife or have beauty procedure done.
I have big thigh too. I used to wonder if only my thigh and calf were smaller. Over time, I just accept it is what it is. My legs haven't fail me and they have been on this journey with me since I was born; and never left me once. When you're too busy envying what others have, you don't see or appreciate what you have.
If you want to lose weight and maintain a body weight ratio, you may want to see a nutritionist. You may also want to see a personal trainer or schedule walks/exercises. I usually, when I'm not lazy, break up my meals into portions throughout the days. That has somewhat help me maintain my weight.
wish you the best

I meet a lot of people who are trying to lose weight or stay lean. Weight loss is very popular in our culture today. Once upon a time, bigger women were considered more beautiful, but these days, most women are struggling to lose weight.
