I understand OP! I'm definitely not overweight, but I always avoid those sections. There'll always be someone prettier and skinnier, and then it's depressing to look in the mirror :/

I do that too

Good for you, OP. Much of the stuff on those boards is either garbage or poison. Shame, guilt, body-bashing and self-hatred packaged as "health advice" will make you sicker, not healthier.

I love pinterest! And If you are actually unhealthy OP, it would probably be best to try and improve your lifestyle. But this may not be the case, so if not, just ignore the first part of what I said. I hope your self esteem improves! :)

so you leave Pinterest where it makes you feel like shit and go to FML where you read about everyone else's shitty lives. Well played, OP, well played.

I get like that at times too, OP. Avoid food when you feel yourself losing motivation or putting yourself down at the sight of those images. Instead go outside for some air & walk, you'll feel a little better that you burned some calories instead of gained some over being sad. It'll motivate you to be more active if you start disciplining yourself with something small. Don't listen to people who say go to the gym. Make your life active with your ACTIVITIES then consider building up for exercise.

Good for you!

F our lives for reading that.

She just said she wanted to keep Her self esteem up, she never said "I need to lose weight." A skinny person can look at another skinny person and have bad self esteem. No matter your weight size, you can be self conscious. Everyone here just assumes she's gonna shove food in her mouth. So judgemental.

Don't worry! Our "perfect" body image is distorted! You're beautiful!
