    It's all too easy to buy into the belief that your body is just not good enough. It's too easy to feel inadequate, like you need to constantly change who you are and what you look like to fit an ideal of beauty.
    Today on Wellcast, we're going to be talking about body image. Sometimes, we get so focused on the parts of our bodies we wish we could change that we forget to recognize how amazing we are. Here, we offer five suggestions to help you quiet unhealthy, negative thoughts about your shape and size, and boost your self esteem.

I learnt so much, although I'm still upset because I lost my best friend, but I was complaining about my body but now, I might be curvy and have those stretchmarks on my body but sometimes I look in the mirror and I'm like "Damn, I look good!"
    Thank you❤

    I have struggled with my body shape and flaws since a young age, since I hit puberty around 8.
    I was quite the chubby girl, hairy and tall. I was picked on because of it and that ended up affecting my personality.
    I slowly changed my lifestyle into a *healthier* one.
    I began playing voleyball a few days a week.
    I got slimmer with time, got to deal with hairyness and turned out to be one of the shortest in my classroom. As my body grew stronger, so did my mind. Now i have a very average weight and a healthy and beautiful body. It's not perfect, but its mine.
    Everything changes. For the better. =]

    People call me stupid for thinking I'm pretty. They think I'm full of myself, so I rarely look in the mirror around other people. But when I'm alone I smile and talk to myself like a loner. I have the total opposite effect, cause I don't think little of myself, I think of myself as a generally attractive person. But people call it wrong to think of yourself that way. UGH!

    You know what's frustrating? People think I'm fat, but I'm actually not really that much bigger than everyone else. I literally have a wider rib cage and hips than others. I don't even have much fat covering my rib cage. People just think I'm fat but it's just my bones! I am also short so that gives the impression that I am short and stubby. :(

      If you are happy with your body and looks that is all that should matter so do not give into peer pressure.
      Many compare themselves to actresses / actors although they do not realize just how unhealthy they really are.
      I have been short and overweight all my life and when I have tried to loss the most I could lose in a six month time period was 12 pounds and then I would gain it back again.... Some people have metabolisms that are fast, some slow, some that slow down with age, and then like me some that are always slow.

    • @emiliarendrag105
      @emiliarendrag105 9 років тому +13

      There's a difference between confidence and arrogance. When you are confident, you are *content* with your body and aware of your own *unique* personal beauty. When you are arrogant, you think you are so beautiful, that you think you are more beautiful than everyone else, even though everyone is beautiful in their own way. An arrogant person would say "I know right?" a confident person, imo, wouldn't necessarily say that but just say thank you when you complement them. imo, the biggest differences of confident, un-confident and arrogant people is this: Arrogant people will brag and gloat about their looks. Confident people *will not* whine or complain about their looks. And lastly, un-confident people *will* whine and complain about their looks. Or, at least, that's my interpretation of it.

    I used to feel like I needed to change who I was to make other people like me... After doing this for years and getting teased all the time I did not care anymore I realized that I don't NEED to please society.... If people don't like me for me then they don't belong/deserve to be around me... I'm me and people need to accept that... If they can't they need to find someone else to be around.... Because I'm me and I'm beautiful in my OWN way! There is apparently a "normal" idea of beauty. But there is no ONE type of body or pretty your are gorgeous in you OWN way! And that's all that matters.

  • @abigailriley2067
    @abigailriley2067 3 роки тому +4

    At 4:28, when you said that I started crying because it meant so much to me just hearing that. I hear it from my family whenever I mention feeling insecure about my weight and body, even though my weight is fine for my body size/shape and I have an hourglass figure (yay me and my insecurities do to the hourglass figure), my family says I look great but I look at myself and all I see is the imperfections. Once, my mom really hurt me because (small tidbit of knowledge, I do ballet so when I gain weight it is noticeable) I had gained some weight and hated how my body looked because when I gain weight it is all in the stomach area (so extremely noticeable) and I was trying to lose the weight and avoiding form fitting clothes, one day I go in the kitchen and mom and I start talking (I forget how we got to this part) and she says "yeah, I think you gained some weight" and I just started crying and said "I KNOW! DO YOU REALIZE HOW INSECURE ABOUT MY BODY I AM?! I HATE HOW I LOOK!" after that I left the kitchen and went straight to my room still crying. There will be days when I purposely don't eat or eat lighter meals, or skip certain meals and no one in my family notices or if they do they don't care enough to say anything!
    Anyways so for the rant, but if I am being honest I feel better after getting it off my chest.
    Back to what I said in the beginning of this comment, thank you! And if you made it this far into this comment I would just like you to know this YOU ARE FREAKING BEAUTIFUL AND AMAZING AND PERFECT!

    What is wrong to aspire to have a model-body? They're gorgeous. Its not a crazy fun house image. I for one just like their style..

      There's nothing wrong with wanting to look healthy, but wanting to look like somebody else is a one way ticket to disappointment. You'll never look like somebody else, so strive to be the best you. I'm sure you're a very gorgeous person, and wanting to be elegant is completely okay, but aiming to look like someone else will only end up hurting yourself.

  • @yourfriendlyneighbourhoodd3118

    For friendly people who feel like listening and helping.
    I used to be a really skinny kid. I could eat everything I want and I had no problems with my body whatsoever. I had dance classes 2-3 times a week.
    Then I hit puberty when I was 14. I suddenly started gaining weight and my body image changed. It was really hard for me to accept it and I guess I still haven't. I still do the same amount of exercise.
    I'm by no means fat. I'm 162cm and 54kg and my arms are skinny and my calves look great. But I have thicker thighs, a nearing double chin and a stomach that's more like an ugly blob. It doesn't sag down but is sort of pushes out of my body in a ball-like curve. I hate it.
    I also have DD boobs that make EVERY SINGLE SHIRT LOOK TERRIBLE. I'm not confident enough to wear skin-tight shirt because my boobs look uncomfortably huge and they bounce a lot when I walk. But I hate using baggy clothes because they go straight down from the outer edge of my boobs and make my middle body look waaay bigger than it is.
    I get social problems from my dance classes. I do realize that I'm completely normal and maybe a bit on the small side when among most people. But I swear that everyone in my dance classes are at least two sizes smaller than me and it makes me stand out as big among them. It makes me very uncomfortable. I don't have that "ballet body" that they do.
    I have never drunk alcohol or smoked. I only drink water and milk and occasionally, hot chocolate. I do pilates and have dance class 2-3 times a week. I'm not up for being vegetarian.
    Do you have any tips for me? How can I become healthier and/or get a skinnier stomach? How can I become more okay with myself?
    Thank you for reading! It really means a lot to me!

I think a really helpful thing is to learn to love and accept your body then focus on your environment and values

But when you around the people who love and care for you, there's another voice to combat the one in your head telling you that you're not good enough.

Even tho she was whinning all day that she hates her life , she is unsuccesful, deppresed.. i tried to help her.. i also said at the end of the talk that if you need these tips then use them!
    Every school day she is rude and mean to me while still regaining my friendship.. She even sometimes says thing like these! "Ew, pony tails dont suit you!" and if i put a shocked, dissapointed, sad expression .. then she says "What? I am just telling the truth!" and if i try to reflect her mean words .. -"Why are you so mean?" Even tho she was the one.. She is trying to embarress me .. alot..
    It all came to the point where i am deppresed ... I already had enough with anxiety, social anxiety and rarely anxiety attacks...
    Then my other friends are sassy and careless...
    There are some other girls in my class that are very nice to me and fun to hang out with that make me lift my mood up.. But then again I am a shy ambivert with anxiety...

I always have a big dog stuffed animal with me to hug when i get the urge to harm myself. It happens to other people and I just wanted to spread the word. Hope you all are feeling good! ♥️♥️

    I really wish someone had shown me this when I was anorexic and having inconsistent eating patterns. This is so great!

    Everyone has their perfections and flaws BUT thats what makes you, you. Just remember that you're beautiful/ handsome. Everyone is no matter who tells you otherwise.

    You can't project those negative beliefs and let others buy into them-focus instead on what you are great at and it sounds like you are wonderful at SINGING!!

    Great resource. Talking with the parents is also an option that sometimes can be N.1. Happy teen years!!!

    Don't worry about what the scale says; fat weighs more than muscle. What's more important is that you're a *healthy* size, which your doctor can clarify for you.
