After entering the university, I found that many students around me were trying their best to lose weight, and everyone was pursuing the concept of "thin is beautiful". I was originally quite satisfied with my own body type, but in this atmosphere, I also began to be critical of my own body, trying to lose weight, but can not control the mouth, making myself particularly anxious.
What the hell should we do?
Classmate, do you know? Your anxiety is instead making you more and more out of shape!
You say you can't control your eating, but it actually has a lot to do with anxiety - when people feel stressed, they're more likely to rely on eating to relieve their emotions, which creates a weird circle: you want to lose weight, but the thought of losing weight itself may become the trigger for you to gain weight.Think about how much of a loss that is!
In addition, you mentioned that you were originally satisfied with your body because you saw more and more classmates losing weight, and they all insisted that "thinness is beautiful", so you also began to criticize yourself in this environment.Yes, people are indeed susceptible to their surroundings, we have to admit that.
But is there really a uniform standard for fat and thin? Absolutely not!!!Some people think you're skinny, some people think you're fat, who should you listen to?
From your description, you shouldn't be the kind of person who is much overweight~
So maybe it's not the body fat or thin itself that you should be obsessing about, but how to adjust your mindset about fat or thin
If you are surrounded by students who want to be "thin", that is their standard, and you can define a new aesthetic for yourself. For example, "beauty is based on a straight physique," "beauty is based on physical health," "beauty is based on an outstanding temperament," and so on.
By a different standard, wouldn't it be better to improve your physical fitness through exercise to be healthier and more confident?
By the way, you can also enjoy the occasional meal to make the mood more pleasant.You can only have enough energy to do what you want to do, and maybe lose weight without realizing it.I wish you to be more and more beautiful!
