I hate how I look…injection shots?

#unfiltered #lemon8challenge #Lemon8Diary #unaesthetic #naturalhair #natural #bareface #blackgirlcreator #blacklemon8creator #blackcontentcreator

Sometimes I just hate how I look.. down to my hair, how I dress, all of it. I just recently started to dress how I WANT to versus just what’s comfortable, easy, and quick. So although I’m doing it, it takes a lot of time and energy. Plus, the days I don’t go all out have me feeling even worse because most of the times I look 🔥, so it looks

So bad the days I’m just in crappy lounge clothes. Though I’m doing better, I’m still not the woman who can pull off jeans/cargos with stilettos EVERYday but I’m slowly learning.

I think sometimes us women can get stuck in that dangerous cycle of comparing ourselves to others… “oh she pulled that off better, or “I wish I looked like that”, or “I wish I dressed like that” or “I wish my hair would do that”. I try not to but sometimes it’s inevitable. Plus I’m working on being a content creator so a lot of competition goes into me being like “damn these people have this big of a following, what do they have that I don’t?”

It doesn’t help that I’ve gained 10lbs per month all year long. I officially weigh more than I ever did while being 9 months pregnant during my 3 pregnancies. I think the highest I ever got was 160. I am 193 now and my entire life I’ve been 120-135. So that’s hard because I rhave been l foreign in my body.. I don’t know HOW to carry it. After 4 months of trying weight loss my drs way (no carbs, working out, healthy diet) they have finally agreed to let me do my weight loss injections since I’ve been doing what they said plus working out 4x a week and am still 193. I am used to throwing on anything and it looking good, but right now certain things just don’t go with my body shape. Has anyone tried these injections?

I want to be in a place where I am completely happy with myself and get flattered when people try to recreate MY outfits and beauty/hair style. One day at a time I am working on myself during this healing and self love journey I am on, and I know one day I will reach a place of content.

... Read moreBody image issues can often lead us to consider various solutions, including cosmetic interventions. Many individuals face similar struggles, feeling the pressure to conform to societal beauty standards. This article shares an authentic perspective on the challenges associated with self-image and the emotional toll it can take when comparing oneself to others. In recent years, injection treatments like Botox or dermal fillers have gained popularity, with many seeking them as a means to enhance their features or slim down. It’s essential to approach these options with careful consideration and thorough research. Reach out to healthcare professionals who can provide accurate information on the potential risks, benefits, and side effects associated with these treatments. Furthermore, exploring alternative methods to boost body confidence can be equally important. Engaging in regular exercise, maintaining a balanced diet, and practicing self-care can help improve not only physical appearance but also mental well-being. Don’t hesitate to join support groups or communities that promote self-love and acceptance, where you can connect with others undergoing similar journeys. Remember, the journey to self-acceptance is unique for everyone, and it's okay to seek help along the way.

Fat Melting Injection
I injected a fat-melting product into my face at 27 and still see the effects at 45. It left scar tissue and taught me how risky that was. What looks like “fat” is often just tension, especially from clenching. Focus on tongue up and teeth slightly apart to reduce it. #KokoHayashi #KokoFace
