You can’t hate yourself into loving yourself. I practice a more neutral stance. My body isn’t good or bad, but a part of me. And I want parts of me to do certain things, and exercise will allow me to do those things basically

It's not supposed to be motivational. This level of self scrutiny is more of a warning sign that the issue lies elsewhere. I think you need to seek therapy. If the issue is yourself, even if you get fit, you'll still feel poorly. Also, it only gets worse if you're looking at the 1% of people with model bodies online and the more you see, the more the algorithm shows you. It's a vicious cycle. My best advice for right now is find something else. A hobby, passion, club, somewhere to be, friends,

even neutral doesn’t feel right. i really, really wanted to be attractive like other people online and IRL, it felt like i couldn’t really reduce or move away from that desire

Moving your focus away from the strong fitness brainwashing online will do a lot of good. Being naked and getting comfortable in your body also helps- speaking from experience in all of this
