Don't Know Who Else to Talk To..
Posted: 01-12-07 14:39pm

I dunno what to do.. I hate my body so much i've pretty much stopped eating altogether.. I know i'm stupid but I really hate what I see when I look in the mirror. I just want to be beautiful and I want .Jonny to fancy me again.

Sorry, there's just no-one else I can talk to about this, coz they never take me seriously. I know it's stupid to get upset, but I guess my hormones are all screwed up at the moment, too.

Crying

Aw zanny, I think you're beautiful and I truly *love* your new hair! But I know what you mean, I feel pretty disgusting and undesirable.

Are you not eating because you want to lose weight? If so, your starving body will hold on to the weight. Why not try a diet plan or some exercise to help shed the weight? I don't think you gained much when you were pregnant but i'm sure you're scrutinizing every little thing about your new body.

I'm sure jonny still thinks you're beautiful too! Don't worry, it just takes time for your body to get back together. Your body may seem wrecked but you got a gorgeous little girl out of it!

It's the same with any weight loss and even more so after pregnancy (you also have to reduce you increased blood levels and stuff as well).

It took 9months for your body to get where it is now, allow yourself just as long to change it back.

Not eating actually makes it worse because your body starts to retain fats and liquids in order to survive.

If you really want to take control be active and focus on eating healthy.

Maybe even do a detox diet if you aren't breast feeding.

But yeah by not eating your skin and the rest of your body lacks essential nutrients and therefore skin gets that sallow uncared for look - not eating won't make you attractive.
Eating healthy will.

And, who says jon doesn't fancy you any more?.

You need some "me time" time to have a long bubble bath, manicure and pedicure, to go with your gorgeous hair.

Zanny on your myspace there is body shot of you after jennie, and I promise you, you look really freaken good. Not even for just having had a baby, you just look really freaken good period. I know what it feels like to feel disgusted with yourself, and i'm sorry you feel like that! It's an ugly place to be. Working out is the best though, not for just losing weight, but it makes you feel a million times better and really helps with those little depressed feelings. Seriously, don't stop eating, start working out, and then eating healthy sometimes just naturally follows (it did for me, cause I know when I was feeling so good from working out I didn't feel like over eating and eating tons of junk.)

Working out releases endorphins I do believe - the body's own natural "feel good" hormones Wink

I was thinking the same thing tanya. Zanny I was .S.O.O.O.O.O jealous of your myspace pic that you took after giving birth. You look gorgeous girl!

Believe me I have lost alot of weight and now I feel tired all the time. I am slowly starting to put it back on again but it drains energy out of you. Not what you need when you have kid/s to look after.

Just take it slowly and eat healthily. Don't try drastic measures as they usually fail and, like I said, you will end up drained of energy with bad breath and constant hunger pangs. Shocked

love you hun! You look great!

Xxxxx

Thank you.. I love you guys.

I've always hated my body, it just makes it worse now. I've been bullied all my life about how I look. Pathetic that I still let it get to me, I know.. But i've had all confidence knocked out of me.

Jonny doesn't seem to find me attractive anymore.. And the other week he even made a list of all the women he'd like to sleep with.. All of whom were a hell of a lot skinnier than me. I know it's stupid to get worked up about that, but it hardly made me feel better about myself.

I don't think I stopped eating to lose weight.. I just don't feel hungry anymore. I do feel tired and dizzy sometimes.. But I manage to take care of .Jenny ok. I tried to eat something today but couldn't manage very much coz it made me feel sick.

excuse me?
did I read that right?

Bi*ch slap him from here to next week.

That is bang out of order for any man to do whatever his girlfriend/fiancee/wife is feeling - even if she is full of confidence and on top of the world.

Sorry but he just went down down down in my estimation.

I'm gobsmacked, sweetie that must have been heartbreaking. I'm sending you lots of bug hugz (yes bug - they're the squishy kind Mr.
Green )

you are worth so much more than that kind of treatment.

I'm with .Mel. If .Aaron ever said "ooh .I'd like to eff suchandsuch and suchandsuch" .I'd slap him in his mouth. I'd be like "well guess what, you don't get to eff suchandsuch or suchandsuch. And now you don't get to eff me either, you big 'tard." how utterly disrespectful. Evil or
Very Mad

jenny needs her mommy to be healthy. She needs your love and comfort, needs to feel your arms cuddling her, and needs to feel those lovey positive vibes only mommies can deliver. You have to take care of yourself darling, for her sake if not for your own. Maybe you should resume taking your prenatals, and possibly contact your doctor if you start feeling worse. I don't want you to start slipping into ppd.

If you ever need to talk, you know we're here for you! We love you babe!

My husband learned very quickly not to pull that shi†. We were at a friends house the other day and he was on their computer and he says "hey babe, remember how I said I cheated on that one girl with her sister? That's because her sister looks like this" and shows me a picture of this chick that actually looks pretty similar to me. So I showed our friends girlfriend this picture of this *gorgeous* guy I had slept with right before I met my husband. He shut up pretty quickly.

It doesn't help if your b/f is making a list of all the other ladies he'd like to screw. He needs to be supportive and encouraging than belittling you. That's horrible .Zan!

I agree, kick his behind!!!!!!

Hehe yeah maybe I should.

He did that even after i'd nearly broken up with him for all the sh*t on his myspace page (he's since deleted it)... He was pretending to go out with other girls, and even sent a pic of some girl to someone telling them she was his girlfriend. The girl left comments on his page saying stuff like "i love you so much, i'm so glad we're back together again" etc.. He claims it was all a joke, and it was just a way of making this other girl jealous.

I don't know why he couldn't have just told this "other girl" that *i* was his girlfriend, and showed her a pic of me instead..

exactly.

Sounds more like he is trying to make you jealous.

Zan, if you want this guy I suggest you sit him down calmly and talk about this, if he won't talk, well, you're better off with someone who loves you for you.

You deserve to be treated like a princess.
