I have extremely low self-esteem. I really don't know what to do. How do you develop a good body image. I exercise and try to eat right, but it doesn't help. What else can I do ?

Between your pic and your specs, I'm astonished that you view yourself so negatively. You're a lovely gal. But I could say that forever, and it wouldn't matter; you know as well as I do that the positive self-estimate has to be owned by you.
That you exercise and watch your diet is good. No mistake there. But they obviously don't address the reason you judge yourself as you do. Find the cause, and you can fix it.
So, what gets you thinking "I'm no good"? Is it something somebody said? Do you have trouble doing something? When I have to do math, I feel like a loser - math is cool, but I have trouble with it. I'm laying my hangup on the table to get you considering what triggers those "L"-thoughts.
No need to brood here. Don't reach for the black eye shadow and all that. Just observe your thinking; take a step back and see what's going on. You're a detective now; go after the clues. When you find your suspect, you're halfway to beating it.
I can't say exactly what the next step should be, except that you'll probably want to scrutinize the hangup. Does it really make sense? After I found that math made me feel lousy, it occurred to me that it was kind of silly to castigate myself. OK, it's hard for me to calculate, but I don't calculate all the time. And there are other things I'm good at. So I decided to study math when I get the time. I don't always have the time, but I do have a more realistic sense of myself now.
Hope this helps. Someday (soon, I hope) you'll realize you're not nearly as bad as you thought you were. You might even start thinking you're pretty good. Then you're onto something.
I'm also a D cup.
are you uncomfortable by your breast size? please dont be
many girls would LOVE your body...and men appreciate it
wear clothes that flatter you
that is prety much it. but try to see a psycyatrist for your self asteem problems.
Make sure you hang around with people who are comfortable with their bodies as well. sometimes having your friends criticize their bodies can make you self concious. Try (i know it's hard) to focus on the positives. maybe you really like your shoulders or some other body part. Emphasize some porition of your body that you do like (your eyes, your hair etc) and continue to do what you are doing.
Good luck!
what i think that you should do is compliment yourself (it may sound strange but it works). you should aslo take some fast paced dance classes that will keep your heart rate up. this may help with keeping the shape that you want and it will create more self-esteem.
DONT LET STUPID PEOPLE TELL YOU WHAT YOU'RE NOT AND DONT LET GUYS TALK TO YOU DISRESPECTFULLY. THAT REALLY MESSED UP MY FRIEND.
i wish i looked like you!!!!!!!!!
Get involved in something that makes you feel good: like an activity you enjoy (art, dance, sports, sudoku, volunteering, singing, anything), and use this to build your confidence. I have a low self esteem as well, but all I have to do is look around at all the things I have accomplished. I know that whatever comes up next, I'll have the courage and skills to accomplish it.
what areyou not comfortable about any girl would love to be real skinny with big boobs lol. being fat and flat chested would make you more uncomfortable im sure, haha but just learn to love it
You have to understand no one is perfect. There is no perfect. And for me, (I have had eating disorders and body image problems) I just tell myself that I am doing the best that I can without going over board. My body is different then others and likewise theirs too. My body reacts differently-some good, some bad, but I can't control that. And that is okay. Again I just do the best I can and accept that this is me and be thankful for my great assets and that my body works well for the most part.
I have also noticed that I have become a lot more confident in my twenties and more accepting of myself and have a more normal perception of what a girl's body is supposed to look like.
Don't put so much pressure on yourself, focus on those positives. And an extra two pounds one week won't hurt you. Also, if the whole realm of things it isn't that important. Just be healthy and in shape and be happy with that.
I hope this helps!
All that's going to do is make your body image worse..Compare yourself. Yes that will help.Go to the mall, or a restaurant. Sit and watch the people passing by. You'll see that you probably look alot better than most of them do. That always helps me.
according to encarta, self-esteem is self-respect. do u mean u dont respect urself? well, u should coz God gave u a perfectly beautiful body which EVERYONe yearns!
however, confidence is quite as hard to build up too. in my case, i got confidence from family and peers as they would boost up my confidence in any aspect. but im not the type who goes overboard.
sometimes, when a person thinks too much, they concentrate too much on the embarrassing moments in life which lowers their self-esteem. But who don't have embarrassing moments?? Everyone does! So stop thinking about it and go on living! life is to be enjoyed and not to be closed up or hide in!
