self conscious

[sue35]

I am self conscious about my legs and arms in relation to my pot belly. If I was thin all over it wouldn't bother me as much but I have this potbelly that I hate!

Speaking of which...why is the stomach round all over? I can see why it is bigger by the lungs but why is it round everywhere no matter how much I work out?

I'm very self conscious about my pot belly. In school I didn't tell people I had CF (not that any of them would know what it was if I did), but I was teased about looking pregnant and this one girl was talking about me so that I could hear her and she said "if I were her, i'd do set-ups" I should have said something to her, but I was extremely shy in school. Now people ask me sometimes if I'm pregnant or how far along I am. It's EXTREMELY embarrassing for me.

Ry was small and thin as a child, and he got made fun of. That is, until he punched the ringleader in 9th grade.

I was never self conscious growing up about my legs, arms or stomach. Now though, I'm self conscious about my legs and never wear shorts - I wear skirts or short pants / full length pants. I feel much better that way. You know, you have to shop for what works best on your body, not just b/c ppl say to wear shorts when the sun is out.

As the devil's advocate, you might just be magnifying in your mind what you don't like about yourself. Your arms might be lovely to everyone else. I know it's hard to get past though in your own head.

I hate my legs.. i look like i'm walking around on tooth picks.. I also hate going to work sometimes cause there are just so many people that are like.. "ashley you're too thin.. you should eat something."... or the bigger ones at work if you do find someone else at work who is thin and has trouble gaining weight they always feel the need to bust in (probably due to their own low self esteem) and be like "oh you're not even allowed to comeplain"... on day i actually told one of htemm.. you know what i would rather be fat.. and she actually had the nerve (even with knowing i had cf ) to say "no you wouldn't"... i'm like you have no idea.. you're so caught up in your "poor me i'm over weight" routine that you couldn't even possibly think how other people might feel.... but yes my legs bother me a lot.. but it doesn't really stop me from wearing shorts in the summer time.

I never had any problems with my arms or legs. They are thin but nothing that stands out. I am self conscious about my stomach. I also have a pot-belly. It isnt too bad, but I notice it. When I eat a large meal it does make me look three months pregnant, hehe. I also have a nine nich scar across my stomach from MI surgery at birth (also gallbladder two yrs ago) and other scars. I can be really self conscious about my scars.
