As Chris said, you are beautiful and starving yourself is not the answer to losing weight or staying in shape healthily. Exercise and a healthy diet are both safer and effective ways to stay in shape, if that is what you are after. Also, sometimes if you don't eat enough your body actually stores more fat to try and save itself, and so, sometimes you will actually gain weight initially. I suppose I am being a little hypocritical, because I can't say that I haven't felt this way sometimes too, but you should definitely talk to someone about this or consider alternative and healthier ways to stay in shape if you are really concerned about it. But you are perfect just how you are, and having an eating disorder is a nightmare you can't easily just wake up from, so please stop before you go too far and become trapped in a pattern of behavior that is both dangerous and addictive.

I wish you all the best and hope that you will come to see that you don't need to starve yourself to be beautiful, you already are just by being yourself. :)

Sweetheart, it's hard to be happy when you're struggling with yourself. But believe me when I say losing weight isn't a permanent fix. It isn't going to make you happy or your problems go away. In fact, if it turns into an eating disorder or even an on/off dieting thing, you'll be even more unhappy.

You can be 300 pounds, 200, 100, 50 and still be unhappy with yourself. Worse, you'll very likely end up heavier than you ever. I wanted to just lose a little bit of weight at the beginning, too. Next thing I knew I weighed as much as an 8 year old. It was hell and I wish I'd never started.

Learn to be compassionate - towards yourself. It's so incredibly hard to do but if you're persistent and if you tell yourself your life is what you make it - everyday - you'll get there. It doesn't matter what weight you are, if you refuse to love you, you will always be disgusted by what you see.

Take care of yourself, you are all you have and whatever reason you're doing this, it isn't worth it.

Love,
Amaryllis

Don't do that. Just be happy with yourself. Don't go by the world's standards.
