Hi girls. I've been struggling with self image for years. I was a bit of a tom boy since before puberty and continued that way until after I graduated high school. I've never had a lot of confidence in myself. I don't really like the person I see in the mirror, but some other people have said that I'm pretty. When my boyfriend says that I'm beautiful, it means the world to me. I'm also not very thin, I lost weight a couple of years ago (I felt like I was on top of the world!), but since then, I've gained it all back. But I've seen some really gorgeous women who aren't thin.
Does anyone have any pointers to gain confidence and learn to love yourself no matter what you look like?

It's only been a year since I started to raise my confidence and for me it is still a struggle, but it's something that you can't give up on. I suggest trying something new, either something that you wanted to try or something you dread trying, because when you get out of your element, yes, it will be a little uncomfortable, but you might also get reactions from people that you never would have gotten before and they could be the desired reaction. Or even just do something different just to say that you have done it and that you have experienced something different, you have more knowledge so you're smarter, and the very fact that you decided to wear a dress and heels and try out being really feminine for a day and how it made you feel opened your eyes to something whether it's that you much prefer pants and a t-shirt to heels and a skirt or you actually kinda like how you felt in them so you might wear them more often or you absolutely hate it and will don't do it for special occasions like weddings or something like that. In order to gain confidence, I think you have to do things that you would be proud of and you need to have the courage to try out new things that you might be too scared to do and facing that fear will make you glow with pride because you finally did it.
It's a process and finding your own confidence and learning to love yourself for who you are are two things that sometimes collide, but if you learn to love yourself and appreciate what you have and strive to be a better version of yourself, then sometimes confidence comes with the package.
Good luck. You'll to amazingly, I'm sure. ^-^
