Support Group poor body image/Self Esteem

I'm suffering from extremely low self esteem. I seemed to have it all considering that I live in a great place, loved by my husband and have good career. Problem is I hate my body all my life. I work in an industry where a beautiful body is a necessity.I'm in a healthy weight range but I grew up hearing from my own parents and siblings how fat and ugly I was...that I don't have a waist, flat nosed, etc..Ironically, I still have those comments in mind and I branded myself as a fat, ugly woman. I'm almost suicidal. I need some recommendation in regards to support groups and/or counsellors that specialize in my case.

Well let me tell you that, Hong Kong is a very judgmental place.

I’m sorry that your family has make you feel that way, and you definitely need help.


However I always believed that there is not such a thing as “UGLY WOMEN” but their

Is SLOPPY woman that make a big difference.

If you need some help send me a PM and we can meet to have a chat about it, and

Perhaps you just need a change of image.

I'll be more than happy to help

Why feel like that? You're quite lucky you have a husband and family to take care of. Well from my point of view it seems that you don't appreciate yourself that much. Be glad of the features God has given you. I think you should start to appreciate yourself. Beauty and happiness comes from within. If you don't or never appreciate yourself, who will? When you are confident about yourself, you would feel the difference, there is a certain glow and radiance in you.. you will notice that later on, just be positive. Smile and everything around you smiles with you too. There is beauty in you... The only problem is that since you are seing beautiful women in your work, you envy them because you don't have what they have. Be happy with what you have.. Everyday look in the mirror and say to yourself "I am beautiful", then you will feel better. Be positive and start your day with a smile.


You know, there are lots of available good looking and brainy women. And to them they are thinking, where have all the men gone? How come they have bf's and even the non good looking ones have? How come I don't have? Well the problem is "Charm". There are lots pretty girls around but they lack the charm to attract men. As for you since you are married, why bother about it? CHEERS!! BE HAPPY!!

molly - firstly if u are feeling suicidal then u had better get yourself to the dr. maybe a counsellor or someone. hope u have shudded that thought from your mind though.


this is a really hard one to deal with i agree HK doesnt make it any easier where everyone almost is a size 0, im a 12-14 and feel like a giant. but this is about you, hang in there ok and hope u r feeling better today. counselling would be good for you to help with your thoughts and low self esteem. i went to a therapist sort of for my anxiety issues and if i can get her no i will post it to you, ok.
