SHAPE OF THE NATION

Young woman who only sees her flaws

Real Bodies
Back    Next 

Some days I hate my body.

I know there's nothing to hate about it, but I can't help but only see my flaws. I see myself as small breasted, wobbly-thighed and heading towards pudgy. I'd like to be half a stone lighter.

I am heading towards eating disorder territory, and this photo was taken to attempt to remind me I'm not as bad as I think I am. I am currently underrgoing therapy to stop myself thinking about myself like this.

I am constantly told I am beautiful and have the perfect figure – but I just can't see it.

I think there is something wrong when someone my size feels fat, and intellectually I know I'm gorgeous. I just can't see myself that way.
