In some cases low self esteem can cause self-loathing or an intense level of self-hatred. This is obviously very destructive and extremely negative. If you suffer from self hate, then this page should help you stop this horrible form of self sabotage. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

I will also use current research to advise how you might begin to love rather than hate yourself. First let’s look at some of the signs you’re self-loathing<\/strong>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n Those who are self-loathing sometimes neglect regular healthy meals. This is much more likely to happen among white women, as shown by much research including this article<\/a> published in the Eating Behaviours Journal in 2005. This study compared eating attitudes of black and white, and male and female college students. One of the important conclusions was that many of these white women in particular suffered from self loathing and excessive dieting which can cause poor eating habits, (especially eating less).<\/p>\n\n\n\n People who hate themselves will often use food as a form of punishment. Some, choose to eat too much while others don\u2019t eat enough. Overeating becomes a pattern and reason for hating yourself. Essentially by eating more food, you feel shame later and as a result, have lived up to the negative opinion you have of yourself. Those who under-eat often feel as if they don\u2019t deserve nourishment and deprive themselves of foods they both love and need.<\/p>\n\n\n\n1. You’re Not Eating Properly<\/h2>\n\n\n\n
