as a fellow person who struggles LOADS with body image issues, these are some thoughts that help me: weight is a silly number. it's measuring not only fat, but ur organs and muscle and the water in ur body—it's the number that matters but how you feel in your skin. that being SAID — i spend a lot of time looking at myself in the mirror and being angry at my legs and my stomach and my stretch marks and i try in those moments to literally poke those areas and go "ur cute and good thank u" (1/2)
i know it's VERY CHEESY but holding stress and hate and negative emotions in your body only makes it harder for you to lose weight/see positive changes as you try to make them. and your body does such wondrous things!! it lets you laugh with friends and enjoy yummy tea and good food and if there are things you want to change, then feel free to do so, but come at those changes from a place of "i love you, and want to take care of you" as opposed to a place of self-hatred. i love you lots seo <333
this is a message from chey that i kept in my inbox to reread every time i felt miserable about my body and my face + i think it’s time for me to publish it and share it with other people. this truly got me through some of the tougher days and i’m infinitely grateful for that.
