How do I gain self-esteem?

I have very little self esteem. Myfriends are always telling me I look great and am a great person but standing next to them I still feel horrible. I am not what one would call fat but I am deffinetly curvy though only just 13, just a bit larger than the average girl. I used to be overweight (129 pounds at 5 2 inches but have worked off 15) and do feel slightly better about myself but I still cry when looking at my reflection in the mirror. I want to lost just a few more pounds to look a bit more like everyone else I know and gain a bit more self esteem. So far nothing’s worked so this is where I am looking for advice.

Answer #1

Sweety I am also full of curves and I am still a little self concious about myself but then someone pointed out to me that if I lost any weight in my legs then I would be top heavy and if I lost any weight all around my head would be too big for my body. My boyfriend also told me and he isn’t the first, that guys like it when they find imperfections because it makes them ease up a little. Guys like girls because of personality not just body no matter what people say. If it really upsets you that much than maybe you should try getting help from a nutritionist or a personal trainer to help tone muscle not lose fat. by the way, I am 5’3” and 135ish and I am ok with it.
