Body image issues.

I wrote a blog post a while ago about how Im suffering from Trich, but Im also a victim of body image issues.

From around the time I was 12 to my current age of 23, I was never satisfied with how I looked.

Looking the through the mirror makes me want to puke. Trying on dresses makes me want to puke. Trying on clothes that may show some pudge makes me want to puke.

Most importantly, taking photos with others makes me want to puke.

99% of my friends BEG me to join for a picture. I always refuse. I rather take the photo than be in it. I hate the way I look in others photos of me.

I kindly asked others that if they have a friend who acts similarly, dont force them in a photo. Trying to feel comfortable in your own skin is really hard to overcome.

I've been going to the gym lately with my brothers fiancé so I can help reduce my frustration of my image. Ive been doing this cardio class that literally caused my legs to give out.

I just want to be comfortable in my own skin, at least once. So, I will continue to work hard to shape a me that I am happy with.

I agree that we shouldn't force anyone to take picture if they are not comfortable . Also we should also ask permission from our friends / the person that we took picture with if its okay to post the picture because sometimes the picture might be okay for you but might not be okay for others so it's important to be considerate . I hope that somehow you'l gain yourself confidence back again and be happy with who you are. I think self acceptance is important. You need to first feel good in the inside to feel good outside. Don't be worry about physical appearance too much because it's just part of who you are. Personality is just as important . Stay strong
