I am so self conscious and don't know what to do anymore!

Every time I am around my bf I feel so fat, so i suck in my stomach and wear my belt on the tightest loop. Since i have started to date him i have lost 10lbs and now i never want to eat.

I still think i am fat so i still suck in my stomach and i still where it tight.

He has noticed me doing this before and has told me to stop but now i have done it so much it is a fore of habit. what can i do to get back to my regular ways, and become less self conscious around him?

Auntie Mel agony auntJust remember honey that is is not only you that feels this way. Many many girls (as did I when I was younger) have insecurities that make them incredibly self-conscious, this can easily be dealt with so don't worry.

When your around your boyfriend this probably feels worse because you want him to think the best of your appearance. But you need to remember he is your boyfriend and he thinks you are beautiful.

He has asked you to stop because he doesn't want you feeling so insecure around him. The happiest you can feel in a relationship is when you both feel as though you can completely be yourself around the other, it makes the relationship special.

You can get back to your normal self by trying to accept the fact that he thinks your beautiful and you do know that loosing too much weight is really bad for your health.

You could try and replace it by eating the right amount of food and the right sort of food. Have a good look at your GDAs so you know you aren't eating too much or too less. You could also do other things to make you feel better about yourself such as giving yourself a manicure and pedicure every week or so and moisturizing every day and night. (trust me nothing feels better than having soft skin and nice nails)

I really hope you get through this darling and I hope I helped xxx
