Ht. 5'6", Today: 140 lb (BMI %tile: 75) - Im 15, Im about 5'6, and I weigh about 140 pounds. Its taken me a long time to get to where I am today, weightwise.... I've been overweight my whole life, so I really SHOULD be happy with my weight, but Im not. I still feel disgusting and my self esteem is very low. I feel like I need to lose more weight. Im just very confused as to why everyone tells me I look good. My friends even say im "perfect" but I always feel that they're just saying it to shut me up. I dont know why I cant accept myself and I dont know what I have to do to begin to accept myself. What should I do?

People tell you look good because of how far you've come since you began your diet and exercise. You have to tell yourself that you love the way you look and that you're proud of yourself to accept yourself.
