Am always worried about my height

One of the best articles I've seen on Nairaland lately.

There's a misguided conception that Africans living in Africa don't suffer from body image issues - well in 2013 we do! Another misconception is that men don't, well I'm an African man and I do.

I have come to realise to a certain extent I always would, but I've come to use it positvely, by going in excercise programs and a reasonable diet. Notice I said reasonable, this means a diet I could sustain for the very long term, which can adpat to changing life situations.

To deal with body issues; set a goal of where you possibly want to be, set up a reasonable diet, start a training program - doesn't have to be crazy to start with but something to jump kick. Then set another goal and repeat.

And remember a healthy body is from inside, read and educate yourself how to feel good inside - I'm talking detox, colon cleansing, proper knowledge of vitamins e.t.c

Working hard on my body in the last two years has changed my life, I look good and more importantly feel good, I have confidence that shows in my work and relationships.
It's not enough to think you can beat a negative body image mentally, you actually have to do something about it.
Same way you can't just beat poverty by thinking - you gotta go out and get a job

I like everything about myself so I don't need to envy what others have. I cherish what I see whenever I look at the mirror. I don't need to struggle hard on perfecting my imperfections because of what someone said. I LOVE THE WAY I AM!!!!!!

Hmmmm thanks anyways

Nice one OP,doh ur grammar plenty sha.......

I've complained about my body a zillion and one times

Actually i didn't read that. .

Maybe people would stop obsessing if they were accepted the way they are. Only the strong go through bad remarks about their appearance.

Love yourself first ladies or no one else will guys too.

I love myself I take care of myself I think to a fault. For the past 10years I've been a regular at the gym. Everyday I do nothing less than 300situps aerobics I eat like food. Regular massages pedicure I do myself. I like how my clothes fit. When you work on yourself you spend less on tailors I give my clothes to local tailors that charges between 800 to 1k per gown just because everything is where it's suppose to be the design will look a million bucks. My sisters out there take care of yourself and see how you will be oozing with confidence wherever you go to.
