My name is Haley. (I just posted an intro on the respective intro thread, if you're interested.) My main reason for being here is that I have huge issues with accepting my body, despite many people saying I have nothing to worry about, and my boyfriend even telling me he'd like me to GAIN weight. I suppose I've grown up in this stigmatized society, and the idea of gaining weight really just... I just really don't like it. I know that he would love to have a little more to hang onto, but I can't quite reach the consensus in my mind between being happy with myself and pleasing him. I know that I don't have a thin, willowy person living inside me, but I also don't like feeling like I'm carrying around a spare tire around my middle. (NOTE: this is just me talking. I think you are all beautiful people and I would never EVER look at you the same way I do myself.) I love being a curvy, beautiful woman, but I can never quite accept myself when I look hard at myself in the mirror.
I guess what I'm looking for is advice on how to accept myself the way I am, if such advice even exists.
