I’m really nervous posting this because the picture on the left shows me in a time where I was so depressed, and not treating my body with respect. I hated myself because of what others said about me, not because what they said was true, but because I chose to believe them. I DID NOT lose weight because I hated myself. I DIDN’T start working out because people bullied me. I didn’t start eating healthier because I couldn’t stand what I saw in the mirror, and I didn’t fit into the same clothes my friends did. I lost weight because I LOVE myself, and I wanted to heal my body from all the crap I was putting in it. I know things get hard when people try to convince you that you aren’t good enough because you can’t fit into the same clothes as them, but you always need to remember that unless you love yourself, no amount of weight loss will make you feel better.
People like justkeepbreathing831, riiaeatsright, elefaunt, and oatsnjen taught me that you need to love yourself first! And not to be too hard on myself when I slip up. Thank you guys, you will never know what a huge influence you had on my journey to health.
