Now that you know that you can accomplish things that might not have been possible, dream another goal and see where that takes you.

Probably the feminists fault. They teach us to hate ourselves. Many of them are mothers or work in schools/kindergartens.

This is what we in the business like to call trouble shooting.

It's almost as if the weight is a symptom, not the cause.
SjyiN
Try shooting up with 2-3 canabis. Will make u gain some weight again. But atleast u will be happy about it
GlimpseOfCrabs
Damn. I'm trying to do this. Thanks for spoiling the ending jerkerooni.
smaug777000
Well, if there's nothing in your life you can point to that's truly dysfunctional, consider asking your doctor about antidepressants
You'll know whether or not they work within a month, and for people that have relatively normal lives that are still depressed, it works
ThePirateShpee
Well, keep working at other problems till you don't hate yourself anymore. The longer it takes, the better you'll end up becoming.
FatGuyPostingSuicidalMemesEverday
Well now you are just piece of shit not fat piece of shit :)
voldead
Maybe is the hair ?
teddybeareaus
go for a hike now that you can, smoke some weed in nature. It's the fucking best
EternalDesireforBreadandCheese
The key is to hate something more than yourself.
Copperbrat
True. Or at least find something outside yourself to focus on.
FullCrimsonic
Yep. Now we got body dixmorphia too or whatever its called.
goddamngenius
But now you have less you to hate.
skillzthatkillz54
God, I hope this isn't me.
KarlaAnne
Same.
DeborahGroufsky
Because the substance (food) is the symptom, the cause comes from your head & body. I heard overeaters anon works, if you work at it :) x
IUpvoteScience
Have you tried turning the hate off and on again?

Thanks! That worked!
QuantumSupersexposition
i fully embraced the hate. am i doing something wrong?

As a (thankfully) former Tech support guy, You made me LOL. +1

Have you checked to make sure that the self-hate is plugged in all the way?

I let myself go fat because I had problems. That way, by being fat, I thought it would be a good reason to reject me.

Go deeper, we often look into the symptoms of our problems, but we must go to the source of our pain to be able to transform it
aberry9036
But what does that even mean?
TwoBitFortuneTeller
We think that what we hate is something outward and if we can just "fix" ourselves (lose weight, get money/friends) we'll feel 1/2
better about ourselves, but that thinking is backwards. Satisfaction comes from within, and everything else is superficial.
Szwejkowski
Shift the focus onto other people. Much harder to hate yourself when doing things for others. Less time for self reflection for a start.
LumpPump
only problem with that is when you have no one do do things with, even when you do there are just times when you are alone and it can suck
Volunteer. If you wear yourself out a bit you'll be too tired to self loathe when you're home alone. At least, this is how it was for me.
Failing that, video games ;)
Cosbypillpopin
See this is where people go wrong if you want to stop hating yourself you need to self project that hate onto someone or something else 1/2
For example Greg down the street (FUCK YOU GREG). just wait until your next existential crisis. you'll be well equipped to feel with 2/2
The inevitability of your own failures by blaming that fucking asshat Greg. Greg sucks huge donkey balls. 3/2

DemonicSquid
Yep. Go see a doctor, medication helps.
Arckeiner
Hey, it's a problem you won't have to worry about anymore. It's a start! :)
tehzpoon
For real, you DID something HUGE that 70%+ of us never work up the nerve to do. That's something to be proud of, despite the self-hatred.
flamingflamingo
As a thin person, seeing how miserable overweight people can be about their image, I make sure to appreciate what I have.
Murrdogg
Hahah, you must never have battled weight loss and depression at the same time. hint: the weight comes back and you feel worse. =(
Lionskull
yeah but usually when you work out, your body chemistry improves which improves how your body feels. and that can help reduce depression.
SunnySarah20
Can confirm. Lost it w/ healthy lifestyle but brutal depression & abusive ship; perfect ship now, fattest I've ever been, still depressed
whosthatgirlitsvern
Me too. That's why I gained it back and lost it again and gained it back and lost it again...endless cycle. Not all weight loss is good.
raykwondo
The reason you want to lose weight is important. 1/2
2/2 If you lose weight because you want to be healthier and respect your body, you may have better success.
MaterialisticWorm
Even if you don't feel a change now, being healthier can make you happier in the long run.
RadicalMooseLambs
Positive thinking assholes are scientifically proven to be less empathetic. It's called depression dude.
Flyndaran
Exercise helps with most mood disorders. It helps my crippling anxiety and improves my overall mood even though I fucking HATE exercise.
I agree but exercising regularly doesn't mean you are thin.
And not exercising doesn't mean you are fat. But exercise is just one of those rare things that is always good... in moderation.
Jacxy
Take advantage of the self loathing, get into distance running.
up2this
So much truth in this. lol
I absolutely HATE every second I run. But I ain't diabetes' bitch.

I started running because I hated my body. Now I can run really far, actually really enjoy it, and realized that I will never like my body.
LordPuck
This. This so much.
pigstails
Why not?
MessageMeYourCats
I'll never like my body because it conned me into a toxic relationship and then stole my kidney.
I think it's pretty common with women. I just don't like how i look even though it's mostly in my head. I'm getting better about it though!
I'm sorry you feel this way, can I ask how old you are? I was really insecure when I was younger, I'm 25 now and am learning to love my (1/2
Body, not just for the way it looks (i've got my lumps and bumps, but they're a part of me) but also for what it's capable off.
briar147
I'm a dude and I can relate. I know I will probably never "love" my body and it has nothing to do with body fat or muscle mass.
Also, running is one of the only times I feel badass and confident, so I'm going to keep doing that as well! At least I'll be healthy.
That is good to hear. My self loathing has a lot to do with hormone levels and blood sugar. Running helps regulate it a lot.
Makes sense, running has helped me cope with depression for many years now which is also hormone imbalance related.
