Self Acceptance

today, just once accept yourself as is

right this very moment, you are who you are

every pound

every inch is you

i myself have a hard time dealing with looking in the mirror as i hate who i see, the size, the girth.

i feel the outside world is judging me for that appearance and judging me because i am obese/fat/overweight

seems that the ones who need to accept ourselves the most is ourselves.

Remember we all are unique.

There's not one person like us.

No one has your fingerprints,

only you.

Isn't that amazing, all the people in the world, present or past, and you are different.

That's what makes us SPECIAL

Love your uniqueness!

I am special!

i look forward to the day when i can look in the mirror and like what i see and like whom i see..

Thats why you have to like what you have on the inside.

I don't think we'll ever look in a mirror and totally love what we see. I just look this morning and said to myself "yep, your face is getting thinner, but now you need a facelift, which isn't going to happen".

I also know I will not like looking at my saggy skin, but I'll like covering that up.

Can't cover up my face. LOL

Point is, I will never be a 10, but I love who I am! I AM SPECIAL!

That day is closer than you imagine.

One day I looked in the mirror and smiled, I thought wow I have really done this and I look good.

Trust me, it will happen!

NC is one of my favorite vacation spots. It would not hurt me in the least to come up there and kick ass.

I remember being 16yo and 122 and thinking I was so fat and going on a strick diet. Now 40 yrs later, the rest of the story.....

Amen, my selfesteem issues led me into an abusive relationship for 8 years. I had to learn to love myslef more than I loved him and to love my children more than I loved myself. No amoumt of weight loss can teach us this lesson. Its time to get butt naked, stand in the mirror (open your eyes ;) ) and say this is me!!!

And I don't have far to come! It takes a long time to see yourself differently. Even now at times I see myself still at 256! Look for NSVs. Like getting into and out of the car, a booth in a restaurant. squeezing through spaces I did not think I would fit!

You are doing great girl!
