chocolate_boy Posted November 14, 2005 Posted November 14, 2005 Just had a shower and looked at myself in the mirror, man I look bad! I've lost about 1 stone in weight since September, and I am quite a small framed guy anyway, but in August last time I checked myself out I was 5.8 in height and 11 stone weight, now I'm down to not even 10 stone and I look really puny, I also don't look healthy, my skin is really patchy and red at the moment and I have black rings around my eyes. This isn't good, I look back at pics from myself in august when I was a healthy weight, had cool hair, was wearing smart summer shirts, had a tan. I am a good looking fella when I make an effort, but I just look ill at the moment. Even my gran who is really ill commented to my mother how bad I was looking. Any ideas? I've started eating more again luckily, but feel like I have no energy at the moment, and I feel like I should as it's not far off 2 months since we split now, surely I should be gettting more healthy. I am coping better now (apart from my ex hanging around at my neighbors house), but I need to look better to feel good and confident to go out. No girl would even look twice at me at the moment, I look like ****. Back in the summer I'd get girls coming over to me in bars telling me I was cute etc. haven't had any female attention in the last month at all since my ex left me.
scobro Posted November 14, 2005 Posted November 14, 2005 What is a stone?I would start lifting weights if I was you
Author chocolate_boy Posted November 14, 2005 Author Posted November 14, 2005 What is a stone?I would start lifting weights if I was you About 14lbs. I would, but there are only 3 gymns in my city and my ex is the receptionist at one of them and the other is on her street.. unlucky... There is one more but it's an elite very expensive club, I may look into a trial. I haven't set foot in a gymn is 5 years though.
Author chocolate_boy Posted November 14, 2005 Author Posted November 14, 2005 Decided I might be a big girl and go and use a tanning salon, not very healthy i guess, but i look so pale. Reckon a good diet might help, and since I've been saving so much cash now that I'm single (and hardly going out) might even buy a whole new wardrobe at the end of the month. Any one knowing any good tips for looking a bit more healthy (the old winter glow etc.)
Outcast Posted November 14, 2005 Posted November 14, 2005 GO TO A DOCTOR! If your colour is bad, that's a BAD sign. Get to a doctor fast. One thing I learned from spending time in hospitals with people with cancer - your colour is a big big deal and an important indicator of overall health.
pippen_2k Posted November 14, 2005 Posted November 14, 2005 Exercise outside! Takes care of your tan, and makes you look and feel better.
SMHappyface Posted November 14, 2005 Posted November 14, 2005 I totally understand - I looked at myself in the mirror and I had dark circles under my eyes and my ribs and hip bones were protruding more than they ever had. I weigh less than I did ten years ago when I was 14! I am pale and white, and I'm trembling all over - and you've been dealing with this MUCH longer than I have. As others have said to me and I'll say to you, you need to force yourself to take care of yourself - make sure you eat, if you can't eat, drink high-calorie shakes. Go tanning, go see a doctor, go talk to a counselor, get a new hair-cut, make sure you do something to make youself feel better about yourself. Allowing yourself to wallow in self-pity makes the healing process longer. And don't worry, I'm talking to myself to as I say this (and as I've only been able to choke down half a sandwhich today so far).
