I hate hearing that people feel like this- the world is a cruel place. The best thing i can suggest to do is to try change your attitude on yourself, noone is perfect and im almost certain there are not many people who are completely happy with their body. If you would like to loose weight, there are many programmes that can support you through this- but never do it for someone else or feel you have to do it to please other people. The first step to happiness is loving the skin youre in, you need to work on your confidence ♡

Look at yourself from a different angle. That 'fat and ugly' is not you. I know how cliché it sounds but really, your inner self is important. Your perception of yourself is important. This is really popular 'hack' if you will, is to write messages on Post-Its and stick them anywhere. Things like 'Your hair looks lovely today' or 'This shirt does really suit you', similar stuff

I used to hate myself for being over weight and i thought i was ugly before and sometimes i still do. I want you to look in the mirror every morning and say "i am beautiful" even if you don't believe it i want you to do it everyday until it becomes true in your mind. That is what really helped me and if you think you're fat, which you're likely not, exercise once and a while but keep doing it make is a routine. Its not only good for losing weight, but too feel good about yourself.

well first of all just try to love your self the way you are or at least stop thinking you are the only fat and ugly person in the world. You know whoever or whatever you are, is you nobody else. World does not end here. It is not the only standard to measure goodness. If you think good and with pure heart, this is your actual beauty.
Do not over think about your problem, because it will make you worry all the time. Secondly, nothing is impossible, you can try to become physically fit by working out, exercise, eat healthy and by trying to remain as much happy as you can. Give yourself some time.
The day you will stop worrying and overthinking about yourself you will feel better and do not stuff your head with stereotypical beauty standards. Nobody is perfect. I am sure exercise and healthy diet will make you loose weight. And one more thing... feel beautiful and you will look beautiful.

Balance your thoughts. if you want to take action, do so, but do it safely. eat healthy and try doing 20 minutes of exercise, or even just being more active. once you've done this, not only will you start to see the difference, but you'll feel good. write notes on your mirror.. 'you are beautiful' 'today is a fresh day' 'don't stop, you can do it' keep motivational quotes around the house. To feel pretty, treat yourself to a facial and a makeover. don't be shy to try out new things.

You should never hate yourself, There is nothing to hate about yourself. You may not be happy about your weight, but there is alot you could do to fix that. Working out is easy, even if it's only for 30 mins a day. If you're dedicated, a few changes can go a long way. Everytime you go to the washroom today, i want you to do 20 squats. This will get you started

It's no instant solution, dealing with self esteem is really really tough and it's sometimes even harder when people tell you you're wrong and "stop thinking that, you're beautiful" instead of offering empathetic support. One thing I know helps me is to look at pictures of people who look like me, and every time I catch myself thinking I envy them, they're beautiful, they're more attractive than me - then I can step back and realize - wait they look like me, and if they can be loved I guess I can too. I like to talk to other people in the body positive movement and hashtags online who know what I'm feeling. A reminder I've heard echoed a lot is "I can be fat AND attractive, loved, beautiful. I'm not the "norm" of attractive, but what makes my kind of attractive less than that? Nothing. My feelings are real and my feelings are valid but the pressure I feel is based on made up ideals."

Love yourself for having a mirror and food, love yourself for having the chance to be fat because there are so many people who crave for food everyday. Now if you hate yourself then work yourself out, get over yourself and instead of crying and feeling bad, change that. Eat healthier, do excersise.

Again, it is acceptable to some degree to "hate yourself". Resisting the negative feelings would only create more tension and hatred. Stop resisting, and start observing your thoughts and your feelings. Focus on adopting a positive BEHAVIOR towards yourself rather than trying to change the way you feel. You can not always control your feelings, but you sure can control your behavior.

There are two different things at play here: your physical appearance can be improved, but also your self-confidence can be improved. It's more important that you love yourself. Physical attraction is in the eye of teh beholder, and people should love you only for your emotional/mental states and not for your body. Supportive people that deserve you will not judge you for your body. Try being more supportive to yourself. Loving yourself can include changing your eating habits, taking more walks, treating yourself to a massage, telling yourself good things about how you feel and look every day, and trying to turn negative thoughts into positive ones. Good luck!
