I Have Low Self Esteem

I'm really struggeling at the minute, I've always been skinny not as much as I would like but slim and now I've put on weight I can see it and every time I look at my self all I see is fat none of my friends understand and I just don't know what to do anymore I just want to cry

U r probably your own worst critic. I used to be skinny when I was your age up until the age to about 20. Until 16 I did a lot of exercise but stopped after that as didn't realise the importance of exercise. I do a lot of exercise now but am still pretty big but I don't mind that now as the exercise I do such as swimming an playing football really gives me a rush an I feel better about the way I look as starting to see slow changes. I'd highly recommend a team sport not to change your shape although this may be an effect from this but to help you feel stronger in yourself an about yourself. Hoping you feel happier with your body image soon

This may be a hard one but, stay away from mirrors for now. At your age your body is probably changing and may surprise you in a happy way.

I was only good at football. I learnt martial arts an improved. Tried swimming but wife had to teach me as I was terrible at it an sank in water. I improved with regular practice. Did 60 lengths today but for your self esteem I hope u find a team sport or martial arts as the fittest I ever was was when I did Kung fu in uk or when I did karate In japan

I'm glad , if not boxing what about another martial art , netball or football? Could do beginners level team if u r not confident but a good way to meet other friends an do some good exercise. Good luck!
