My last advice is try to work on things that you can change.

the thing with BDD you don't see yourself the way other people do you have this image of yourself that isn't even the reality that's terrifying isn't it i know i know. i have it & recently my mum took a picture of me in a group of people i didn't recognise myself because i perceive myself to be a fat person but seeing that picture made me see i'm not even near the size that i thought i was. it's a mean mental scenairo. as suggested by the others see a professional & goodluck

lots of people have a low self-esteem. How negative are your thoughts? If you can't stand to look yourself in the mirror anymore, you should talk about it to your doctor. Or maybe visit a psychologist to sort things out.

I have been told that I have bdd... I don't know how yoo feel about councilling but it's helped me so much I'd really recommend it (: x

This world is so stereotypical. That's why so many people have low self-esteem. We all have this picture in our head of the perfect female/male. Just because that seems to be what people like. There is no such thing as being perfect. We are all beautiful in our own unique way. All of us. God make YOU exactly how he intended you to be. Love yourself. You're beautiful.

Believe me how you look does not matter boost up your self confidence and live like you are most beautiful person in this world
quality matters not face..
work out be strong dont ever let anybody tell you that you are less than anybody
be different.

To be honest, what is classed as "hot" and "Beautiful" today is anything but those two thing. If you are comparing yourself to those "hot" ones, then I think you should get a better opinion on beauty.

Your weight is not the issue (actually, it is a slight issue). However, your confidence is more important right now than your weight. You have to start looking at yourself from a different angle. Yes, maybe you put on weight, but so what? We all do once upon a time. I am not saying that the fact that you put on weight is good (not when it effects your health).

Anyway, only once you start seeing yourself for the person that you are will you understand your body better. That being said, you will think much clearer. You will say to yourself "I have put on some weight. I will change my body image, but I know that it will take a long time and a lot of hard work."

Once you feel better on the inside you will be able to change your outside by being a strong person who will not give up on their way towards reaching their goal.

In the mean time, you have to fight hard to kick those negative thoughts out of your mind. Be positive! You might hear people say this all the time, but only you can change how you perceive yourself. Therefore, rely on yourself to create the body which you want to have. Nonetheless, keep in mind that you will not be able to do this until you concentrate inwards.

Well you wouldn't believe this but I myself have this same kinda problem. But I know I am a beast and I don't care because we all have a dark side a dark passenger within us.
