You're both right - the next part of my journey needs to be about accepting myself and loving myself for who I am.Borderline Lilhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09988037918955358589noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6644033109656707441.post-26831118529523885972009-05-07T16:04:00.000+08:002009-05-07T16:04:00.000+08:00Oh sweetie...
I don't know what to say exactly but...Oh sweetie...<br />I don't know what to say exactly but I do feel your pain. Even though we have totally different stories we have this in common: our bodies are our enemy. <br /><br />Your worth is based on who you are, not what size your body is! I have seen very unattractive people (not overweight) who suddenly become attractive when I see them relating to people. They might be ugly but then their charisma, humor, kindness, generosity, mercy, and all those other kinds of soul qualities shine so bright that you don't even think about their looks. You just see their person. I believe it's exactly the same with weight. It's not about your size, hun. It's about loving yourself and getting to know who you are despite your shortcomings. We all have them. Weight is yours.<br /><br />You feel like other people don't accept you physically. What a terrible lie. You've been fed mis-truths that have traumatized you, that's what I think. People who judge outer appearance have more problems than the people they judge. Hold your head high and be the best you that you are.<br /><br />You feel like you don't know how to live with yourself and accept yourself. I'm still learning that one myself. I think body image problems come with many women at many shapes and sizes. Even really skinny women can have such complexes. It's not just you, it's so many. People most often criticize themselves so hard that they're not even noticing other people's flaws. You are one of those "other" people! People don't worry about what you look like, they worry about what THEY look like. <br /><br />Most of all, whether you are struggling with body image, accepting yourself at any weight or shape, or whatever, I think the best thing to do is just try to live each day healthily. If you are doing things every day that are healthy, then you are treating your body with respect, and that's what it deserves. When you treat your body with respect, you treat YOU with respect, and I think you'll find your confidence increases.<br /><br />((((((Lil))))))<br /><br />Love, Jena xoxoJChttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15334635689175224268noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6644033109656707441.post-61319063137654338042009-04-30T17:00:00.000+08:002009-04-30T17:00:00.000+08:00I am only going to type positive things.
