Working towards recovery.

I realise that to take a further step into recovery, I need to learn how to love or accept myself for who I am. The problem is, I don't really know how.
I'm eating healthier and exercising regularly because I need to lose weight which I'm hoping will make me feel better. Other stuff I can't change unless I miraculously become rich and go down the path of cosmetic surgery. I look into the mirror and I just hate what I see.
Aside from my physical appearance, I take issue with who I am as a person. I don't like how I'm so shy and awkward, how I'm depressed and anxious, how I just have no confidence etc.
I feel like I could write an entire book on what I don't like about myself but I always struggle to come up with something that I do like. Compliments always feel so phoney to me. I just can't help but assume that people are lying because they're just trying to be nice.
I just want to be comfortable in my own skin and I'm tired of being so negative about myself.
