Good question. I like my body but want to look and feel better.

If the SOLE reason you work out is because you HATE yourself and your punishing your body, then it's fucked up. If you look in the mirror and are repelled by what you see despite the fact that other people tell you you are fine/beautiful/hot, then something's wrong.

pfftt...those fatties hate their bodies...they're just weak and/or have just given up. those fatties are the ones who are buying the fad diet crap, and are failing miserably.
i've had a few zen moments....but yeah, i beat myself up a lot, as most people do.

Not liking certain parts is normal, at heart we're all creative and actually looking at this or that body part and saying "I'd look better if this were smoother or that were smaller" is sort of being artistic. It's when a person starts seeing themselves as worthless because of those few less than perfect parts, when they can't look past the individual parts and take the value of the whole package, what's inside as well as outside, that they start running into problems.

My opinion:
Peopel are WAY too easy on themselves. Like, all of them. You SAY you are hard on yourselves but if that were true, you'd be working harder to change things. If you are REALLY unhappy wiht yourself, you won't let it stand. Otherwise, you are just talking.
What happens in most cases is people are being SUPER easy on themselves, want to be even easier and give themselves an excuse to be lazier, and so they somehow convince themselves they're being hard on themselves. Um...dude, it's true. You're fat. You could do better. If you don't care, cool move on. But don't sit there fat as a fool and tell me it really bothers you. It clearly doesn't bother you all that much or you wouldn't let yourself get away with it.
I don't mean to sound like a Nazi, but nothing bothers me more than a whole lot of talking concluded by a pat on the back. Way to never accomplish a god damn thing in life.
I will die alone because I think like this.

People who are hard on themselves accomplish things, people who aren't do not. It's that black and white.
I see it like this: You can divide people into two types. Those who are able to acquire self-esteem without ever having to do anything (good at lyiong to themselves), and those who gain self-esteem by living through experiences, testing themselves and learning from their experiences. The interesting thing about the latter category is that most of those people, for whatever reason, never test themselves enough to gain a sizeable amount of self esteem. The former type of person is typically full of shit and past a certain age usually has trouble selling it to the rest of the population anymore since people wise-up.
I dunno but for me, self esteem always seemed like the kind of thing you had to earn. How the fuck do you know if you're worth a damn thing if you've never done anything?

Too bad the Holocaust had to happen. This country would be in much better shape if it was more Nazi-like.
