“I put on a swimsuit and I feel like a whale. I’m XL and I’m ashamed of it”

– I’ve never felt comfortable with my body. I had many approaches to diet and physical activity, but I always gave up. Unhealthy food and lying in front of the TV won. Kilograms were piling up. Cellulite and stretch marks came over time. When summer comes and I have to reveal something, there is a real fight with myself in my head – admits Agnieszka in a letter to our editorial office, admitting that she still considers herself worse than others.

Although so much is said about body positivity or self-acceptance, I still feel that I have to cover my every fold of fat and every stretch mark. I do everything I can to cover the cellulite on my legs and don’t let the thought of anyone looking at it. The worst is, of course, during the holidays, when friends suggest a trip to the water or a pool party. Then I am faced with a choice – to go or not to go. I am sociable, but my complexes related to the body are insurmountable for me. I feel like I’m still fighting an inner voice in my head that tells me I’m fat and look worse than others.

When summer comes and I have to reveal something, there is a real battle with myself in my head

I’ve never felt comfortable with my body. I had many approaches to diet and physical activity, but I always gave up. Unhealthy food and lying in front of the TV won. Kilograms were piling up. Cellulite and stretch marks followed. When summer comes and I have to reveal something, there is a real battle with myself in my head. I put on a bathing suit and feel like a whale. I’m size XL and I’m ashamed of it. I can’t look in the mirror because it makes me sick.

My life is vegetation. When I look at these beautiful women with perfect bodies, I want to sink into the ground. I’d give a lot to look like this, but there’s something else holding me back. I have insulin resistance. In my case, this manifests itself in excessive sweating and a tendency to gain weight quickly, as well as weight gain around the waist. Unfortunately, this is associated with some difficulty in reduction.

“My friend weighs almost thirty kilos less. I’m a whale next to her”

Even though my loved ones don’t put pressure on me and support me in my fight for self-acceptance, I don’t feel good, but I’m still worse. I can’t deal with it. My friend weighs almost thirty kilos less. I’m a whale with her. How to accept yourself? Will I ever like myself?

Agnes.
