I’m way too shy to let anyone see my body naked. I look like a starving child, even though I’m 19. People tell me I look great, but they can’t see how thin I am under the layers. I eat lots but just can’t put on weight so I’m stuck like this.
If you haven’t already, get yourself some professional advice on gaining weight as there may be a reason such as your body not absorbing nutrients from food, a hormonal imbalance, a fast metabolism, or an overactive thyroid.
Whether you find a cause or not, it’s time to acknowledge that, despite our social conditioning, there is no “one size fits all” for attractiveness, and I say Amen to that!
Try getting naked in front of a mirror and look at your body with appreciation for what it can do for you, rather than how it looks. Can you feel pleasure? Can you give pleasure? What parts of your body give/feel most pleasure? With regular practice (every day), you may begin to find more things to like.
Add ways of showing love to your body by using your favourite soaps and potions, and wearing things that make you feel good. Self-loving is a great way to learn to love your body for the pleasure it can give you.
The most valued aspect of any lover is confidence and knowing what they like, no matter what shape or size a person is.
