Wear what you like to wear, it doesn’t matter what just, as long as you like how you look, and as long as it’s quality. Whether it’s vintage, hipster, girl punk, gal or bright colors, it is just fine. Your body is your home, feel free to decorate it.
If you don’t like makeup, wear cute hairstyles to enhance your style. Or, if you like messy buns and a crazy load of lipstick, do that instead. Again, it’s your choice and it’s perfectly fine. Guys can wear makeup too. There are many excellent tutorials available online to assist you with choosing the types of makeup and looks that might be suitable for you.
If you’re afraid of change, be aware that you won’t change because of your shape, you’re still going to have the same soul. Ways of reducing weight can include: Working out, drinking lots of water, eating small portions of nutritionally dense foods. But always have those little cheat days that allow you to eat some favorites, such as fries, pizza etc. , just in small portions. Depriving yourself only leads to feeling worse and often to giving up.
Walking everywhere possible. Go for walks in beautiful places as often as possible, to restore your spirit as much as helping your fitness––try the beach, a local park or woods, the local hiking trails, a waterfront, local wetlands, and so forth. Cycling. This can be done for recreation or even semi competitively. Try mountain biking if you’re keen on hills, mud and nature. Swimming. Swimming is a way to build strength and stamina while being buoyed with ease by the water. It’s a great way to cool down on a hot day, but find a heated, indoor pool for the cooler weather. Finish it off with an aqua-aerobics class if you’re feeling adventurous. Rowing, kayaking or canoeing. These sports take a bit more dedication as you may need to either own the boat or hire one, but it’s a great sport for getting out on the water and building strength. It can also be good for being part of a team. Fit in an hour over lunchtime if you work near a waterfront or book out a half day on your weekend.
A doctor who makes you cry is a bad doctor. Don’t tolerate a mean doctor. Look for someone else.
It can help to understand that many of the people invested in the “skinny myth” equate being thin or a size 0 with being happy and lovable. If you were feeling particularly unkind, you could ask them how that’s working out for them. But seriously, any attempt to link appearance with happiness is a fleeting and shallow linkage that is bound to end in tears. After all, even the thinnest person ages and if they spend their life valuing their worth by appearance alone, they’ll find aging a terrible shock.
Try to participate in sports or activities with others that move your body. This way, you’ll improve your body image and really start to appreciate what your body is doing for you. The more you appreciate your body, the more comfortable you will be with it.
Embrace not only yourself, but diversity too. Diversity is a celebration that humanity is made up of all sorts of people, even the grumpy and scolding ones; diversity is essential for humanity to thrive and keep on being a creative species. Embrace complexity. Life is rather more complex than the size of a person’s dress or the numbers that pop up on the scales. In fact, people who chuck the scales are often much happier because measuring your life in this way can easily take on a limiting and obsessive inward-looking focus. What about improving your character or making real achievements that benefit others? A far more complex, and far more satisfying approach to life!
Write all the things you wish you could change about yourself. On another piece of paper, write down all of the things you do like about yourself. If you like, have a friend or a family member participate and write something they would never want to change about you. Read both of the letters. Keep them for future reference or get rid of the negative one. One option is to burn it. Get a lighter and burn the paper, watch it burn, because you’re taking away those negative things. Just how fire makes things be forgotten, so will those things you wrote on the paper. On the other hand, frame the positives. Be proud of them; you become what you focus on most.
