I wondered if anyone else has the same problem as me.

I am slim (give or take the strange little bits that appear when you're heading towards 30 like random arm cellulite and a little bit of tummy), a size 12ish and have very toned legs and bottom because I like going to the gym. I am an hourglass shape and although I dislike my cellulite, I can say hand on heart that I look damn good naked.

However, I hate the way I look as soon as I put clothes on. I can never find anything to fit properly and no styles ever seem to suit me, even the ones that are supposed to be for my body shape. As soon as I put clothes on I feel like I go from attractive, slim, curvy and toned to a short, fat lump.

When I'm at home I rarely wear clothes apart from underwear or pyjamas when it's cold because I can't bear to see myself in the mirror with them on. I often leave the house after trying for ages to find something flattering to wear and as soon as I start to see other people, I feel sick at the sight and thought of myself and want to run home. There have been occasions when I've had full on panic attacks and been unable to go out for the evening because I have been so upset at how I have looked.

It's quite clear to me that I have a serious problem and I've tried so hard to do something about it but I can't break out of the rut of poor self esteem. Nothing anybody says makes any difference. I go out of my way to avoid having my photo taken and am terrified of my wedding day in about a months time because I know I will have to have my pciture taken all day. I've come across lots of people with poor body image before but it's usually been related to how they look naked or in their underwear whereas mine is all to do with wearin clothes. I feel really silly to feel this bad, especially as I wouldn't say that I'm a particularly vain or self obsessed version, so I try to hide how I feel from other people.

If anyone has felt the same or has any ideas about what I could do to break out of the self loathing cycle I would love ti know. Lise x

Hi Lise it sounds like writing into the show may help,on Jonathan Ross on Friday Gok talked about the massive per centages of women that really hate their bodies, i wonder if a session with a style and image person may help, eg colur me beautiful, i was given a day as a present a few years ago and found it v useful, alll the best with your wedding day by the way
