Weight issues and hormonal imbalances

[Saumya7171]

I don’t like how depression ruined my appearance. Not to sound vain, but I really wished looking like I was a fit, clear skinned individual. I don’t feel good about myself now. At times, it is tough to accept that you won’t ever look like that perfect teenager again.

I am actively trying to unlearn the negative beauty standards set by society but deep within I know I am faking it. I don’t like how I look.

No one can meet society’s beauty standards..it’s honestly impossible! Unique beauty should be normalized & made known to be beautiful! People who get work done are starting to look the same as everyone else!! What is the fun in that? God made everyone unique, no one was made the same. I don’t mean to bring religion into this but it helped me...there is no such thing as ugly! Growing up in today’s generation absolutely sucks. I don’t have clear skin, nor am I “fit”. I know it’s hard to accept your appearance and I’ve had trouble with it my whole life because I felt like I looked so different than everyone else (WHICH IS TRUE) but I hated that. I’m learning to accept that being different is OKAY. What’s NOT okay is judging someone based on their looks.

Keep your head up 💗

Hey! Yes. Trying to unlearn the ideal beauty myth and embrace my appearance. Thank you for your kind words! 😍You seem to have embraced yourself and that’s lovely. Best wishes in learning to love yourself more.

Beauty is something we all will chase forever:)I go to gym 6 days a week, dance as a hobby and also teach it, etc and work full time. But I'm never happy with how I look, that I need to be more fit, muscular, etc. Though lot of folks admire my looks, fitness, etc. I'm always looking to others that are fitter than me... chasing the wind almost. This recent YouTube I came across seems to be helping a bit. May be it might for u as well.
