IāM SCARED OF BECOMING OVER WEIGHT ššæāāļø
I love my biological dad. We have a great relationship these day now that Iām older, but lord knows heās caused some words to echo in my head.
ššæāāļø My dad has made various comments about overweight people, especially women. Constantly hear the words āSloppy body, fat f***,ā and more has altered my brain chemistry.. in a negative light. Iāve never been over weight and Iāve always been fit, but if I was getting a gut, Iād be up at 5am doing crunches because my dad thinks I need to work out every morning š«š«. MIND YOU, this is high school. I donāt want to go too in depth into my living situations growing up, but I moved in with my dad second half of freshman year, because my mom was too much. So I never really knew what he was like as a person until I was a teenager and boy did he talk about people over weight.
ššæāāļø So now you can understand why Iām scared of becoming over weight. My dad would say it to my face if I was to become overweight and that terrifies me, but Iām not motivated to be in the gym in all honestly. I weigh between 170-178 and in my most recent pictures (MY BIRTHDAY POST or look on my Instagram @ reandria.wrldwide) you can see my body still looks very good. Itās just that my thighs and arms are getting out of control, (of course in my opinion).
ššæāāļø I am working on believing the way I look now is beautiful. I genuinely want to stay fit for myself, but Iām trying to learn how to not think a lot about my fatherās words and my own fitness goals. Itās difficult and if you have any advice please share.
ššæāāļø Does anyone else have a parent that has scarred/scared them into thinking theyāll hate them if they ever become over weight? Have you ever felt like you need to cut back on eating? Comment below and share your stories with me.
I apologize if youāve gone through the same thing I have.. letās be better together mentally.
Okay, bye whores š

The journey of self-acceptance can be challenging, especially when influenced by parental comments and societal norms. It's essential to understand that everyoneās body is unique, and embracing diversity in body shapes and sizes can enhance mental well-being. Many individuals face similar fears of gaining weight, often stemming from childhood experiences or unrealistic beauty standards. To maintain a balanced perspective on fitness, consider focusing on health rather than weight. Engaging in regular physical activity, enjoying nutritious foods, and fostering a supportive environment can lead to positive outcomes. It might be helpful to explore mindfulness techniques that promote body positivity and self-love. Additionally, seeking professional advice from nutritionists or therapists can aid in managing these fears and developing a healthy relationship with food and exercise. Communities and support groups available online can also provide comfort and understanding. Sharing experiences with others who have faced similar challenges can offer valuable insights and encouragement. Remember, your worth is not defined by numbers on a scale but by how you feel in your own skin. Begin this journey of kindness to yourself today.
