I'm chubby and trying to lose weight. I hate myself. I cut and that makes me feel like a failure. I have had a messed up childhood with foster care and an abusive dad.
Recommended Answer:
Don't ever hate yourself. You must have some good qualities! Try identifying your good qualities and writing them down. Being chubby is something that can be changed. It's not easy to lose weight but it is so worth it. Instead of going on a diet, try slowly changing bad eating habits. Also, walking briskly can do wonders in getting rid of excess weight and lifting your spirits. Sorry to hear about your childhood. The good thing is that it is over. Have you tried to see a good therapist to get over your childhood? If not, look into it. If you don't have insurance, there may be free counseling sources in your area. If you have a physical doctor, ask him/her to point you in the right direction for a therapist. If you don't have a physical doctor, find someone you can trust and ask them for advice. It sounds like you are still in loads of emotional pain. That could be why you are cutting, trying to relieve some of the pain. You need some help to get past everything and to stop hurting yourself. Good luck to you.Other Answers:
