Hey, I am 5ft. 8" and I weigh 144.5! My problem is I have really bad eczema (it is an allergy that causes me to itch which makes a lot of scars, scabs, rashes and dry skin acroos my whole body) everywhere and I am pretty fat! If you look at me in my swimwear I look disgusting! I am not confident with myself, and I cry over my looks because I'm not shiny legged beyonce knowles, I am a dry skinned fat freak...

Anyway, I would like to loose my virginity but whenever I have the chance to I don't want to take off my clothes because I look bad underneath. How do I get rid of my problem, besides of being proud of who I am?

Eat right, exercise, and understand that it will get better.

Don't push the sex thing. You have your whole life to do that.

Good luck.

Your weight sounds perfect for your height. Whatever else is wrong, your weight is fine. You are normal, not fat.

Get an objective friend to point out someone with the same bodyshape as you. Bet you'll be surprised.
