โจPSA: You Are Worthy of Self Love ๐ โจ
There are days where I wake up and I donโt even recognize the women I see in the bathroom mirror because I have this warped idea of what I SHOULD look like but donโt. There are some days I wake up and I think I am so beautiful and that I am worthy of the love given to me from others and myself. There is no liner feeling of absolute for either though. Itโs a constant battle of self hatred and disgust and acceptance and honestly I feel like it might always be that way.
I am clearly a plus size woman, and I have had my fair share of comments about that weather on the internet on other platforms or in my everyday life from strangers on the street. Yes, sometimes it does bother me but sometimes it doesnโt as well. Most people who are mean, are mean because they donโt like something about themselves and it makes them feel bad that you can look or be a certain way and not be ashamed of it. Anyways, donโt take what people say about you personally. The only opinions that matter are your own.
โผ๏ธTRIGGER WARNING โผ๏ธ
I have struggle my whole life with my weight, have gone through ED and still struggle with tendencies of practicing bad habits with food. This is from years of bullying online and in my day to day from family members to kids I went to school with. This has molded me in ways that have ruined my self imagine and now, in my adulthood I am working on restoring my self image and reminding myself everyday that I am loved and I am beautiful.
I am setting the example for my step daughter and that gives me so much motivation to wake up and try to love the women she loves with her every fiber.
YOU ARE WORTHY OF SELF LOVE AND ACCEPTANCE NO MATTER WHAT YOU LOOK LIKE. Always, no matter how big or little you are.
I know this isnโt my usual content but itโs been heavy on my mind. Feel free to share your stories on your self love journey in the comments. I would love to be able to uplift as many friends as I can ๐
