I read below the articles and I can sure relatey with them. In some way I wonder why I hav e been so self concious and critical of myself. I don't think I can remember a time that I have never fully loved myself. I have dieted all my life in hopes to create this perfect image. For who? Not sure for me or for everyone. I know that my feelings have been a negative part of my relationship. My husband has always tried to make me see the beauty but I want to feel and learn that there may be something beautiful about me. I can never be thin, because my family has bigger genes and I am a medium build, but I never thought I would continually have to struggle with weight. I just want to be content sometime in my life. I am 34 and have still not found internal happiness. I know my body changed at an early age of 15 when I had my son, and from then on I felt different and very critical. How can I get on the show? I really would love the chance to learn to love me!
Dear Carson, I would just like to say that I love the show and watch it when ever I can. You truly make women feel better about themselves. My mother, two sister and myself are all overweight. I would like to do just one nice and unforgettable thing for all of us as family for once in our lives, My oldest sister Nina has three kids and a husband. Her husband was just diagnosed with a rare infection, her oldest son was diagnosed with seizures and and a heart condition and she has to have a heterectomy soon. She is a hard working nurse when she is able to work due to time consuming appointment and treatment. My other sister has 6 kids and one on the way. She is a loving mother and has great kids. She loves everyone and says she loves herself but I really feel that she is just saying that. She is a single parent raising 7 kids on her own. She deserves to be happy and learn to love herself. My mother was divorced 21 years ago after my father had an affair while she was PG with me. She works so hard to do so little as she sees it from her eyes. She has brought our family through with prayers and alot of singing. My mother is a hard worker, and a devoted careing mother. She truly burned the midnight oil with prayer for all of her children. She has not had a date or any self-esteem for over 21 year. I want her to feel good about herself. They all deserve this!!!! As for me I want them to be happy!!! I would like to be shown what I really look like, but somehting that would mean more to me is that my sisters and mother see who they really are and what thier true potential is. I love them and would do anything for them. They all work so hard to be who they are I'm just asking can you help them realize what a family means, and that they are true hard-working women that should all realize that they deserve everything they have recieved in life and there is plenty more good to come!

Sorry I meant to tell you that if I could look at myself differently and have better self-esteem and could loose weight then I know that my blood sugars would be better and with the weight off, I wouldn't use as much insulin and some of my symptoms would disappear. Oh by the way. If you took a photo shot of me and put me on a billboard in Iraq the war would be over because I would make everyone sick and blind.
Hey Carson and lifetime. Ok I see all the good things you do with women's life. I have a very bad low self esteem. I really believe that I am a great challenge for someone to try to help. I haven't seen anyone with a face and body like mine. Description? I look like a marshmellow on toothpicks with a chinese bubble fat face. I am 5 foot 1 and weigh 196. I am so embarresed for my husband to see me naked. I always cut to lights out.I am a severe diabetic with borderline lupus and sleep apnea along neuropathey, gastroparisis, and retinopathey. I went into a coma at 12 my blook sugar was 1133. My mom didn't take me to the Dr. like I was suppose to go so my blood sugars never got under control. So you can imagine. I have kids by c-section and I just can't loose my gut. I know if i had better self esteem about my body then maybe I could motivate myself to loosing weight. Yeah I have motivation problems with myself. I don't have a problem motivating others. I love life and making people happy. I hate rejection. Well there's my story. I know you are very busy and I understand if you can't get back to me but if you can with advice, I would love it. Thank you for you time of reading this and I hope to hear from you.
Now that it just came to mind, HEY LIFETIME! Are you guys thinking about adding Queer Eye for the Straight Guy back-to-back episodes on your network? you know they dont play their old show not much on T.V it would be great to see the previous episodes again.
Hey Carson and Lifetime,
I have a question how do we get on the show? Well First of all my name is Melanie and Im 17 and Ive been self-concious about myself since I can really remember. My Grandmother who is a nurse has really judged me about my weight since I was younge and I admit I've secretly hurt myself emotionally and physically with an eating disorder, and bingy eating. I really dont know what to do with myself. Especially because I want to become a Broadway Performer I feel Im not gonna present myself good enough for the audience nor feature myself as a idol to younger aundiences. Because I want to become a performer I want to be more happy, Ive been happy for others I feel its my turn to be happy. So help me lifetime and Carson.
My name is Alex and I have a very akward body type. I am an inbetween-er, but then again I am not. I don't fit in plus size clothes, but I dont fit very well in the biggest "juniors" clothes either. I can never really find stuff I like. I have no butt, but I have big boobs. 36Ds. I have a belly because I just had a baby and I hate it. I used to model before the baby and I didn't think a baby would alter my image this bad. My VERY low self esteem gets in the way of my relationship and my everyday life very bad. If I feel "fat" that day, I cry all day and try to stay in bed. I hate hating myself. I used to hate myself before I had a baby but it wasn't this bad. My mom used to tell me I was fat as a kid. I can't look at any woman smaller than me without breaking down in tears or tearing myself down inside. I try to diet and lose weight, but I am o depressed I starve myself, or eat way to much. I just want to look in the mirror and be happy. I want to be happy so bad!
I am not sure how to start. I have always had a serious problem with my self-esteem. I don't have any! I was sexually hurt from the time I was 5 years old. My mom had me at 15, and she was more interested in living her life. Her boyfriends could use me as "see fit". I went through several years of couseling, but I still have issues with my self-esteem. After I had my two boys I was at 260 lbs. I let myself get that big because I didn't want men to look at me. Well, I got sooo tired of being so big. I am down to 140 lbs, but there are still days where I see myself at 260 lbs. My marriage suffers because I can not open myself up all of the way to him because I am terrified of what I look like when I am with him. He and my friends say that I am too hard on myself, but I do not know what to do. I am soo tired of feeling like this!
I have found that getting involved and helping other people helps me realize what truly is important in life. Instead of wasting so much time feeling badly about ourselves, we need to get out there and do things we feel passionate about. This gives us a sense of pride and allows us to embrace our unique beauty that we all possess. A GREAT website where we can unite with other women and girls who are doing this is, www.hangPROUD.com! It has helped to remind me that, we decide what beauty is, and how to embrace our individual strengths in the process. Check it out!
Hello,
I am a mother of 1 child and when I was pregnant I gained approx 50 lbs. In the last year I have been able to lose over 75 lbs. I still am 20 lbs from my goal. But I CANNOT get rid of my stomach, I have tried EVERYTHING! I cannot stand to look at myself, I have tried diets,pills and now I am scard because I hardly eat, I am scared too! I feel I am going in a direction that is dangerous, so please help!!
Hi honey I feel the same way you do except for the fact that I have 7 children and I hate the way mu body looks because I have a large belly hat I cannot get rid of so don't feel alone I am in the same position that you are read my comment to understand how I feel
It's all about being comfortable in your own skin! Who really looks in the mirror and thinks wow I look exactly the way I think I should? No One! You know why? Because society makes us believe we should look a certain model perfect. I personally don't have self esteem issues. But it's so hard for us as women when we have children because our bodies change drastically! And then there's the issue of breast size women with smaller breasts think they want bigger breasts and vice versa. My issue is that my body is so much different after having a baby 3 years ago, and I never could get my pre baby body back. I've come to the realization that I never will, and that's fine. I just wish I knew how to shop for clothing that will be most flattering to me. As well as find the right type of bras to have enough support. Because the ladies at the stores measure you, but everytime I go they tell me a different size!!!!!!!!
Help me please! I'm a 45 year old grandmother of three that does not feel sexy any more! I'm turning gray and I'm going through that horrible pre-menopausal thing, getting a belly after being in fare shape my whole life and it's killing me! I'm trying drastic things and nothing is helping. I don't feel sexy anymore! Help!
Help!!! I'm back sliding! I have always had a problem with my self esteem, and when I thought that I had it licked...well, you know the rest. I am 55, divorced and have had a weight problem all of my life. I have just had a full knee replacement and instead of losing weight, I'm gaining! I need help! I'm desperate!
