Body issues
Hi guys. I didn’t know where else to put this. I’m 14 yrs old, 5’10, and 170 lbs. I’m just barely overweight and I am a very active person but I hate my body. I have a pool party to go to today and I can’t even look in the mirror with a bathing suit on because I’ll end up crying. I didn’t get the skinny genes so idk how to fix my body or become more confident. I just need advice.
@mairino- it is sad that we place so much emphasis on our weight and looks. It would be easy so say love yourself first for inner beauty. I remember feeling like an ugly duckling until my 30-40s. Years pass so quickly, and outer beauty is not what friends and family will remember in the long run. Take a deep breath and put on that bathing suit - hold your head high.
