Thanks Roman. Im glad that I could help you feel better. Yeah, I put me self down out loud a lot and thats one thing that upsets him so much. And I havent said anything bad (out loud) about myself in a week and feel much better already. I might still think it but I think the simple act of saying it does more damage than keeping it in your head because its almost like its someone else telling me that, not myself y'know?

The weight thing Ive come to be okay with. I just took the initiative over the summer to actually wear a swim suit instead of hiding inside and was complimented a lot which made me feel like "wow, why have i been so self-conscious". And some of the problem is that when guys think theyre complimenting you, it doesnt feel like it. lol. And its not their fault. But I know that guys mean well when they say that they think Im cute because Im not super tiny and I have curves and stuff but in my head Im thinking "oh my god Im fat!" lol. So I just have to tell myself "No, that was supposed to be a compliment" so I dont flip out.

Well I hope you and I both (and everyone in this forum) can learn to feel better about themselves over time. Maybe Ill check out that book, thanks.
