2. My Journey In How I Found Love Within Myself. : stressLess-life

My Journey In How I Found Love Within Myself.

false

I always had high self-esteem when i was little, i didn’t get severely bullied until middle school when i started to gain weight. I always been a big kid but it wasn’t until high school where i let myself go. Once i turned 18 i completely fell apart and lost sight who i truly was.

For context i am 25 years old male, 5’10 and I been through a lot of hardships, i love my mom in 2013, both my grandparents on each side of my family, and alot others that i wont name because just a lot of names. My adult life has been filled with low self esteem, bad diets, and poor hygiene. I use to go months without showering, and got traumatized from food poisoning that i only ate chips to avoid getting sick again. I was bad with money and use to photoshop edit my pictures to make myself look better(im bald from genetics). This lasted from 2018-2022.

In 2023, i met my beautiful current girlfriend, and she reinforced how much of good person i am since she went through a period of self esteem issues too. She reminded me of the person i use to be, and highlighted my skills and determination overcoming my life traumas. I started to take care of myself more for her, then realized how much better i felt taking care of myself for me.

At the start of 2024: Now I workout 3-4 times a week, i dropped from 268 to 230 (my goal is 180), i eat a way better diet, and i found my purpose and wanting to start being a motivational teacher/coach. I started taking better care of my hygiene and got into skin care as you can see here:

Its all a mindset thing. Understand that challenges are opportunities for success, instead of continuing the cycle, i got tired of not appreciating myself and broke out of it. I understand how hard it is to love yourself, but i wouldn’t be here without god, and my beautiful girlfriend who reminded me i mean so much more to this world. Surround yourself around others who will do the same, we are all beautiful and have a deeper meaning to the world we live in, and i hope everyone keeps fighting and appreciating themselves.
