TRUTH: wanting a beautiful summer body almost killed me. (please read on??)
I was 15 years old and summer was nearing. I thought about cute summer clothes and what I was going to wear. And how “beautiful” might just look to society at large. I thought I could play the part of a beautiful person that I never truly believed in. I thought that maybe I could get there on different avenues, ways that weren’t as ambiguous as inner peace or self-acceptance.
Self acceptance was a silly idea in the grand world, after all, where we are exposed to HD scrutiny and ridiculed for every “flaw” we own (whatever that means)
I wanted a short cut. A path that was quick and to the point. I wanted to feel beautiful, loved, and simply enough.
I thought about my summer haven and my presupposed obstructers. First and foremost, my thighs were so big. Too big. They needed to change. Then my stomach. I needed a flat stomach in case a summer breeze exposed the skin beneath my shirt. The list went on until no body part was left behind. Until no summer breeze was ever felt. I slimmed my body down in hopes of these goals, but the slimming was never noticed: cue body dysmorphia.
And the pounds lost were never satisfactory: cue anorexia nervosa.
Spiral upon spiral, I sought quick-fixes and no resolutions.
And it breaks my heart to see that so many beautiful men and women continue to believe in these fallacious outcomes.
It took me years to appreciate my skin. And now that I’m here, I want to remind any of you stop for a moment, breathe, and repeat after me:
Weighing less does not correlate to more beauty
Especially when you hurt yourself to get there
Especially when you’re still not happy
you are NOT your BODY:
Your body changes
Your worth DOES NOT✌? Seasons change. The value of our lives won’t #SummerBody #WinterBody #FallBody =  #OneBody ?
This summer, I’m eating good. I’m thinking froyo everyday and a cinnabon every weekend kinda good. Also thinking I love myself. And I’m going to show myself this everyday. ??
Hope you will join me, my loves?. #FightForGrowth #SelfLoveInAction
