Do you know what it’s like to look at yourself in the mirror
every day and wish you were someone else? Maybe not someone else but someone
skinnier, healthier, more muscular, etc. etc. etc…Blah blah blah. It’s like a
broken record. Every day of my life. This is how I have been living. Existing
is more like it. I have spent so long wishing I was something else and never
loving and appreciating what I have and because of this I have missed out on a
lot of things. I have spent a lot of time this year learning to love and
appreciate my body. Reading books and blogs and getting in the mindset to
change my everyday thinking. I am slowly being able to look in the mirror and
not cringe at what I see. I am learning to see the beauty of myself from the
outside. I have spent a majority of my life on a diet or weight loss plan of some
sort, spending thousands of dollars on that one thing that will help me. Searching
for that number on a scale that will magically fix the way I see myself and
make me happy. The sad thing is that number doesn’t exist. That number is what
I weigh now, what I weighed 6 months ago and what I will weigh a year from now.
I need to fix the way I see me in this moment and love every inch of me inside
and out. To be happy in the here and now, no matter how much I weigh.
