[warm-suggestions]

Hello :) I'm struggling with body image. I would like to know your opinion and maybe advice (?) on my latest post... Thank you <3 Btw I love your blog, it always makes my day better <3

(The post talked about accepting certain parts of the body but still hating how the stomach looked like)

Hey yeah I honestly went through a very similar thing!! I accepted certain parts of my body but my stomach as the hardest! Here’s what you do. You stand in the mirror. You stare RIGHT at what you THINK is a flaw and you think “WOW I AM BEAUTIFUL LOOK AT MY BODY” and you think about how great your body is and you think of all the amazing things it can do for you. You smile really really big at yourself and you tell yourself how beautiful your stomach is even if you can’t see it.

Every single time you are in the mirror, smile at yourself and compliment yourself. Spend time each day doing positive self talk towards yourself (either aloud, on paper, or in your thoughts) which means telling yourself positive things even if you don’t believe them, and every time you go to think about how bad your body looks… remember that its just a body and in the grand scheme of life, its not the most important thing. When you are on a rocking chair at age 80 you are never going to look back and say “wow i wish my stomach looked differently” you know why? because it already looks perfect. Your body is literally perfect the way it is, I promise <3 

I have gone through the same stuff as you, and I am also learning to love my body, i’m basically 99% of the way there though now. It just takes time and bravery to accept yourself and love yourself. 

Good luck!
