As a little girl, I remember looking in the mirror and thinking my body wasn’t good enough. As I grew up I experienced family problems, and the old way I made sense of that was I thought it was about me. It wasn’t but my little girl mind thought so.
I let my body define my worth. I started to think “what is wrong with me”, “I’m not enough”, “why am I unloveable”, and “if I could just be skinnier and prettier, I would be loved.” Was I ever wrong.
Never the less, as a child, I let my body define my worth.
Did you know body ideals from the media are only realistic of only 2- 3% of the population? Crazy right?
Ironically, before I lost weight, I had to learn to accept my body as it was, and also work towards change. I had to stop with the body hate, and rewrite my body story. I had to learn my beliefs about my body and what that meant were not 100% true. This lead to happiness and freedom in my skin.
