A quick thread on Body Image. I’m not sure where the line is between negative body image and body dysmorphia, and with everything there is a scale and levels. So let’s go with image as we are living in a time when insta models are ever popular and it’s difficult to not look...
I was scrolling through old pictures and came across this one. Maybe 21 years old. My GF at the time went on a strict diet, she was already slim and healthy. Why? Because I constantly told her I was fat. She looked at me and thought she needed to be slimmer.
Years of bullying for being the fat kid had/has convinced my mind that I am fat whatever I look like. Unless I can see abs and then I’m slightly easier on myself. Looking back I can see how slim I am, and how crazy it sounds. I’m still the same now years later.
Maybe when I’m 50 I will look back on my pictures now and also think the same.
Years of therapy can tell you the cause, it can tell you what you need to do. But nobody can give you self love and work on you for you. It’s something you need to do daily.

Tell yourself you are attractive, beautiful, strong and amazing. Because you are.
NOBODY in this world has any right to tell you different.
And lastly try and be kind. Words hurt. Words scar. I’m still dealing with issues from words that were repeated to me at 10 years old
