2. Finding Love in Me : stressLess-life

Finding Love in Me

false

It’s really been a struggle for me to not hate myself all these years. There’s many factors and it doesn’t help that I grew up constantly being told “you’d be pretty, if you lost weight” by my own family members. So it took a huge toll on me growing up. I lack self confidence, self esteem, self love and in general I’ve just ALWAYS been insecure. I always felt like “because I’m a big girl, I don’t deserve love” I give a lot of care and love to everyone around me but the hardest thing for me to do for the longest time is to love myself.

Now at my age of 32. I went from my heaviest 286lbs to now 239lbs. I finally started to slowly unlearn a lot. I’m learning to be more optimistic and have positive thoughts towards myself. I’m not where I want to be yet but I’ve made slow progress and that’s better than none at all.

A good friend once told me “You’re always great to everyone who needs, you know how to uplift their spirits in their time of need. You wouldn’t stomp on them when they are already feeling down, so why do you do that to yourself??? Why are you so hard on yourself” He told me if you treated yourself like how you treat your friends and loved ones you wouldn’t feel that way about you. “You’re beautiful and an amazing woman, but you’re literally the only person who fails to see that” Did I cry, yes I did because at that point everyone agreed with him and I didn’t know what to do with myself

I hope everyone who is struggling finding love within themselves, has an easier day today than they did yesterday. Things do get better, I’m not saying it’s not going to be a bumpy road but eventually you’ll realize the adventure that came with the journey. Life will never be easy so why don’t we make it fun while we’re still around.
