Young Girl and Her Body Image - A Guest Blog:
A Young Girl And Her Body Image Problems - Body image changes the self-esteem of young people every day. It affected mine for years. I was scared to let anyone see me, because I did not believe that folks would tolerate me.
read began when I was just entering junior high school.
Until that day, I never really thought of myself as fat. I believed that appeared ordinary. Looking back, I now understand that I was really at a perfect weight. But that one comment changed everything for me.
My heart was destroyed. I felt like food was the reason that boys would not tolerate me. I desired to fit in more than anything and no matter how hard I tried, I simply could not let the comment go. I kept replaying it over and over in my own mind. It appeared as though the hurt that I held inside kept growing and growing until I felt like I could not take it anymore. I felt as if my entire world was out of control. Then I started to command the only thing which I felt I could - my eating habits!

I determined that if boys thought I was fat then I 'd be the skinniest girl in school! So I started to purge every time I ate.
The weeks and months advanced. Then I would instantly go throw all of it up.
I got so skinny. So skinny you could count every single vertebra on my back. I literally looked like a skeleton with skin stretched over it. But event then, I still was not joyful.
Deep down inside, I wanted help, but I did not know how to get it or where to go.
Then, one day, I met a friend. http://musickideos.com/__media__/js/netsoltrademark.php?d=ournudism.com told me that she learned to accept her body through social nudism meet-ups. It took me a very long time to go through with it, but one day I eventually did.
Slowly, http://www.riverrestoration.net/__media__/js/netsoltrademark.php?d=nudist-video.net started to learn that I needed to accept myself. Some of the most effective ways for me to reach this was through a societal nudity!
The meet-ups were conducted in a supporting environment. There were other individuals who attended and some felt exactly the same manner I did so. I began to comprehend, a little at a time, that it's alright to love myself and my body. That I do not have to live up to anyone else's standards. I do, however, constantly must be true to myself.
As time went on, I started to recognize myself. These days I 'm back to some healthy weight, and I'm no longer embarrassed of my body. I have not gone to any bare social events for a while, but I hope to get back to it again in the near future.
