My name is Jessica. I’m about 5 foot 8 and I weight 178lbs. I’ve struggled with not liking how I look since about 6th grade. In elementry I was very popular and lots of guys liked me. But the transition into middle school hit me hard. I wasn’t skinny enough, or pretty enough, or didn’t put out enough. I wasn’t noticed. Things in my life caused me to get depressed, including my dad becoming disabled for life and my house literally falling apart. The stress just makes everything worse! I’ve made a deal with myself to only eat when I’m hungry, not when I’m depressed. So far its going good, but everytime I look in the mirror I see nothing but a fat slob. I hate it. Everyone I know tells me I’m beautiful and yells at me when I say other wise, but I just don’t see it! I’m trying to accept myself, I really am, but I’m not having a lot of progress, But I will NEVER give up!
