We aren't bad for eating what's available. And we aren't always going to eat perfect. Sometimes we have to just eat the food, without feeling shame or guilt.

This spoke to me on a deep level of how distorted by thinking can be in viewing myself..Working on getting a better view 💖 #bodydiversity #bodyimagewarrior #bodydysmorphia #bodydismorphia #bodydysmorphicdisorder #bodyneutral #bodyneutrality #bodypositivity #bodypositive #eyesarethewindowtothesoul #distorted #distortion #changeyourmindset #changeyourthoughts #changeyourmindsetchangeyourlife #changeyourmind #changeyourthinking #changeyourthoughtschangeyourlife #changeyourthinkingchangeyourlife #kindnesstoself #selfcare #selfreflect #selfrealization #selfreflecting #selfreflections #distortedthoughts #lensculture #dysmorphia #dysmorphic #rachaelsroadtorecovery https://www.instagram.com/p/CTEE3KyrMs5/?utm_medium=tumblr

tw body image issues: today i am going to open up with something i've been struggling with....body image. it started in january when my ex friend did the unthinkable. I wont get into details but it made me feel ugly. i started beating myself up thinking if i cant even snag the cutest guy in the room, what fucking man or woman would want me because of how ugly i look. it got worse during the pandemic. not moving and being stuck in my apt and being depressed because my life was at a stand still like everyone else. on my 30th birthday i finally realized what was happening and how hard i was being on myself and how i looked. i am grateful for catching it early before it got worse. i have been obviously doing my best to get back into shape and eatint healthy. but i am also doing my best not to be hard on myself. one of my things i learned from individual and group therapy was reframing. at a girls empowerment seminar at my comhab community they told us to write what we like about our bodies. and i have started to look at that when the feelings of ripping myself apart. right now my body may not in the perfect shape but i have other features that make me beautiful. i have a great eyes, a great smile and good youthful skin for a 30 year old. and if i have to rely on that to make me feel beautiful then i will. the reason i am sharing my story is because i am always willing to share stories about my mental health to help others. you are not alone. I also hope others could take a lesson from this in a positive light. as the great @lizzobeeating always reminds us, out body is our business and we are beautiful in every way. #bodypositivity #bodypositive #bodyimage #bodyimagewarrior #mentalhealth #mentalhealthmatters #confidence #selflove https://www.instagram.com/p/CBWDdVWHdaI/?igshid=itnmp7rjxyqb

I’ve always struggled with body image because I’m a heavier set lady. I’ve probably tried every diet or workout fad out there and some worked while others didn’t do a thing. I seriously thought that as this belly got bigger, I would’ve been a little more self conscious and hate the way I look in the mirror but actually I’m pretty proud of this belly!!! I’m amazed to know that I’m growing another human life right inside this bump! I’m so excited to meet the little guy that body image is the last thing on my mind. I feel healthy and strong and can’t wait to go through all the emotions of motherhood once he arrives. For a moment, I was very self conscious about the scars and discoloration from my eczema, even though I shouldn’t have been. But this belly... I think it looks beautiful! Believe it or not but this is the first photo of me ever in a two piece. I hated my waistline and could never justify wearing one. But now I have the excuse that I have a baby in my belly! Oh how I’ll miss this once it’s gone. #pregnancyisbeautiful #pregnantbelly #motherhoodjourney #bodyimagehealing #bodyimagewarrior #mypregnantbelly #mypregnantbody #pregnancybeauty #maternityphotography #maternityphotographer #babybump #babyontheway #pregnantphotographer #growinghumanlife #growingbaby #thebump #eczemapregnancy #babyonboard #mammatobe #cantwaittomeetyou (at Oregon Coast) https://www.instagram.com/p/CIihvrOjTek/?igshid=wpb88tnh2h3i

Don’t let the diet industry tell you what your worth and that you have over eaten these holidays! You’re allowed to go to parties and enjoy food and you do not have to work to deserve that food, you deserve food no matter what, you are worthy no matter what 💕

Love this so much! Really need this reminder sometimes, it doesn’t matter what other people think of my body it’s my body and I love it!
