This is kind of going to be a spilling of my emotions and a plea for some type of advice.
I am so unhappy with my body. I don't feel confident at all. I don't like it. I looked at myself in the mirror, naked, today, and was repulsed.
I... just can't seem to gain any self-esteem. I try to look at my good qualities, but honestly? I can only count on the fingers of one hand of the "good qualities" I have.
I don't know what I should do. I should probably seek professional help.
I've been trying to lose weight, but it's incredibly hard. I've only lost ten pounds and I'm so impatient, that I just want to get rid of it all, and fast, so I can be happy with my body.
I know the whole opinion of looks aren't everything and you should love yourself as you are, but, I mean, how can I love myself if I am so unhappy with myself?
I am tired of it.
If anyone could lend advice or support or something, that'd be wonderful.

I for one think you are very, very pretty. A lot of girls would be jealous of your looks.
All I can say is just try to see your good qualities.
Self-confidence isn't a constant thing, I almost started crying I felt so horrible about myself the other day. I suspect some customer said something mean about me, because his girlfriend freaked out and I heard "OH MY GOD, I HOPE SHE DIDN'T HEAR THAT" and her lecturing him while I'm fixing their food. He could've said something about somebody else, but they were on the other side and I just automatically assumed it was me since I was already feeling horrible about myself. I went in the back after that and just tried to tell myself "If he was saying something mean, it's his problem because I'm beautiful." even though I didn't feel like I was and still don't.
Sorry if I'm not giving the best advice, I'm kinda out of it.

I can understand what your going through, and I urge you to seek professional help. It doesn't matter how much weight you lose, if you hate yourself it'll never be enough.

It's a bit of a catch-22, you need self-esteem to be happy with yourself, but you need to be happy with yourself to get self-esteem.
IANAT, but what i'd suggest is just doing things in your life that makes you happy, or whatever you have a true passion for. I know it's pretty vague, but a person who enjoys what they do is more likely to be happier, and thus, more confident.

Sweetie, you're gorgeous. Don't ever tell yourself you're not.

*hugs* Come on, cheer up. I know lots of women that'd love to look as good as you do. Hell, I know a lot of guys that'd love to be with a woman like you too. You shouldn't be so down. So you have a little bit of a weight problem, big deal. What about your other qualities?
