Hello!
I have an issue, and it really just bothers me all the time. :(
I just turned 20 years old, I'm 5'6" (almost 5'7"), and I'm 128 lbs. Now, this gives me a BMI of 20.7, which is good, apparently...BUT! I constantly look at all of the bad qualities of myself instead of the good ones. Sometimes I just love the way I look, and I enjoy looking in the mirror...but for some reason, every time I actually do look in the mirror, I convince myself that I don't ACTUALLY look good and that it's all in my head, and that underneath my makeup or clothes I'm really not that pretty. Also, whenever I think I look thin in the mirror, I convince myself that it's one of those mirrors that doesn't actually reflect what something looks like in reality.
My boyfriend hates it when I bring up myself being fat. He thinks I'm beautiful, and he tells me all the time that I am. He says he loves my body...but I'm just not satisfied.
Does anyone have this same problem?? How can I fix it, because it's really ruining my life...? Even though I completely realize that it's all irrational, I can't stop thinking negatively about myself... =[
Also, I am very conscious of what I eat, and I work out 5-6 times a week.
