i, too, suffer from horrible body image. it has gotten a lot better now that i have a boyfriend who gets super pissed if i ever call myself fat or ugly. you need to find people who are like you. there really is someone, usually multiple people, for one person. just because some people dont find you attractive doesnt mean other people dont. and if someone is that shallow that they cant see past outer looks then screw em! i dont want some guy who is going to get on me about being a few lbs overweight, i want someone who will listen to me rant and rave and be uber political lol.

although it is very hard to meet other people like that if your very shy. lucky for you this website is filled with people like you lol. were all going through problems like that and were all suffering from something.

people on here are very understanding and wont judge you for your feelings. were here to help. im sure anyone on this forum would be glad to support you in your down time.

im pretty tall, not fat but full figured and have dark brown/red hair. going to college - all i see are 5'2'' tiny blonde girls who wear mini skirts constantly. so thats what i compare myself to. but luckily my boyfriend hates skinny girls and likes tall brunettes lol or else id be screwed!

surround yourself with people with the same interests. that would be like me hanging out with supermodels. they will only make me feel worse, so im going to surround myself with other people like me. i dont think anyone is ever actually ugly anyways.

and if you ever want to talk you can PM me.
