"Adam Lambert was live"
Probably the second best thing I could see from Instagram on my phone. The best is "Adam Lambert is going live now." Unfortunately, he went live just after I started class, so I didn't even know I missed it until I got home.
Anyway. His live Monday I've already watched twice. I just love when he "gets on the soap box" about something. The way he talked about weight and body image is just so comforting and inspiring. I love how comfortable he is with himself.
I'm still working on that myself.
I've got a family history on my dad's side of type-2 diabetes related to weight. I've never been skinny. I'm not built to be skinny. And between hearing about weight from the other parent and kids being kids, I've been working to love myself.
Bob the Drag Queen gave some advice I've been trying to keep in mind when I look in the mirror: focus on the things you like, even if it's something as small as one tooth. I like how I look when I'm wearing clothes. I've gotten to the point where I'm less worried about what size the clothes are than how they look and feel when I'm wearing them. And my hubby loves how I look with or without clothing, so that's always a nice boost.
I'm still trying to figure out where the dislike of my weight is coming from. Is it coming from my past? Is it because I'm worried about my health? I'm hoping it's the health side and I'm overcoming my past. But I think to really know, it's going to take some professional input that I can't afford right now.
Well, I didn't expect this to go that direction. But yeah. I love when Adam has the time to go live like that. Just chilling out and getting randomly deep. That is part of why I am a Glambert.
