. TIPS FOR BAD BODY IMAGE DAYS 1. SELF CARE In the times when you're having hard time loving your body, love yourself Put on comfy clothes Take yourself out on a coffee date Snuggle up with a good book or put on your favorite movie Do things to make yourself feel better, just as you would your best friend 2.

KNOW YOUR TRIGGERS Take extra care to set yourself up for success Get really clear on what causes you to fall down the body-hate rabbit hole And come up with a list of thoughts, actions & distractions for when you feel yourself about to tip over the edge Maybe you avoid wearing clothes that make you feel self conscious Or choose not to scroll on social media if you know you're going to end up with a comparison hangover Knowing your triggers & how to deal with or prevent them will help TREMENDOUSLY 4. PRACTICE GRATITUDE Think about all the things your body allows you to do Be grateful that it allows you to be present in this life To love To experience all the sights, smells, tastes, feelings & sounds Shift your focus from the appearance of your shell, to its purpose Be grateful for your Soul's home 5.

So I went to the doctor today to get new birth control. My husband and I want another kid.....
(even though every time somebody asks me how old my son is they ask if we are having another baby soon as if my only job is to have kids....and the fact that i currently have the only biological grandchild and my mother desperately wants me to have another kid....but thats another post for another day)
........but right now I don’t want to be pregnant. For a few reasons...
one being we are traveling internationally for my 30th birthday and i prefer to NOT be preggo on a 15+ hour plane ride, among other reasons, and when I got there they did all of the normal stuff
take my blood pressure - even though this time it was the tightest blood pressure test i have ever taken......
measured my height...I thought I was 5′2″ but i was 5′3″ YALL! THANK BABY JESUS FOR THE INCH THAT CAME OUT OF NO WHERE! lol
and I got weighed....now....here’s where the reason I picked that picture to go with this post....
I have always been rather slim...no figure 8 over here....through out high school I was also under 120 - that was normal for my height...i think i was barely 5′ in high school - but i also worked out a lot because i ran track and played other sports.
In college I think I got up to 130 (almost the freshman 15 lol) but due to my track conditioning I ran (or jogged) almost every day so that helped.
I maintained the 130-135 range until I got pregnant with my son. I at my heaviest I was about 155.....but thank the Lord I lost most of it after I pushed him out and got back to 135-140
but today when I got weighed...I was 151.....now it may not seem like a lot to some of you but even though i was slim I have always had body image issues. My sister was always more noticeably curvy than me and it was ALWAYS pointed out. Looking back I’m not even sure why those ADULTS would say some of those things to me when I was a CHILD (adults please be careful about what you say to kids - what may seem little to you may stick with them forever...I’m a witness). But because of that I always thought I was “behind” or “not developed” or not as pretty.
Through the years - and with my husband’s help - I have conquered most of that insecurity. And before I went to the doctor I could tell I was gaining weight because of the way my clothes were now fitting (I couldn’t button some pants, some shirts were too small for comfort now, etc) but I honestly thought I was just pregnant. Because with my son that is what my body did. I gained like 10/12 pounds at first then it would stay that way until my third trimester...but when the pregnancy test came back negative I immediately thought “oh great I’m just fat”
Immediately. Immediately I just thought, “Oh great, I’m just fat”
I felt my insecurities creeping up on me again but I had to make a conscious decision that I wasn’t going to let that affect me like it had in the past. Admittedly, I stopped running as much as I used to, I stopped eating as healthy as i used to so YES i gained weight! But I also knew what I had to do if I want to get it off.
So that’s what I’m going to do. All while remembering that while every “body” is beautiful, I have to do what makes ME happy and makes ME feel beautiful. So that’s what I’m going to do!

I've spent my whole life watching my mum hate her appearance, and I know that's no excuse but how am I meant to love what I look like when even the strongest, most beautiful woman in my life thinks she's ugly? Fuck having a negative body image.
So this is a topic that's near and dear to my heart. Something that's always on my mind. And not always in a good way. As I've mentioned in my very first post, I hate my body. I don't think I'm attractive at all, the only thing I really like are my eyes and my freckles. I think and call myself fat on a daily basis. Sometimes I breakout so my skin isn't always the best.
But why? Why do I feel like this? Before you say anything, no I don't compare myself to models and actresses. I know I'll never look like them. My body structure is different. I also know I'll never be a size two. And honestly I don't want to be. I know it's not natural for me. My goal is to get down to a size that's fit and healthy for my body.
I'm just concerned that it wont be enough. Will loosing the extra weight make me feel better about myself? I know this goes further than skin deep. I know most of this is in my head. I'm not morbidly obese or even obese. But I feel that way. I look in the mirror and can't help but see the love handles and the extra pounds on my stomach and that my thighs are too big.
I'm working on that though. I joined a gym and I started eating better and healthier. I can loose the weight. But can I loose the body image? Will I finally be happy with how I look or will I find something else to hate? I'm hoping the answer is no. I really am. What if it isn't? I have the means, tools and motivation to fix my body, to make it healthy. But how do I fix my body image?
I have my good days and bad days. There are days when I feel great so I think I look good. Then I have my bad days, my fat days, that no matter what I feel like I'm 600 lbs. Currently the bad days outnumber the good. How do I get the good days to take over the bad and get rid of them? How do I teach myself to love myself?
I strongly believe that body image and self worth are linked together. As I said before I have little to no self worth. I also have a poor body image. I know feeling good about myself and feeling like I'm worth something will vastly improve how I view myself. I'm just stuck on how to do that. Sure there are things I like about myself. And of course there are things that I hate about myself. I know that's normal. But how do I accept the things I hate and get out of liking and into loving?
I recently read an article ( http://kidshealth.org/teen/your_mind/body_image/body_image.html# ) about body image. It was geared towards teenagers, but most of it rang true for me. It had some great tips that I'm going to try. Like give yourself three compliments a day and appreciate yourself and your uniqueness. The article was a great read and I recommend to anyone struggling with similar issues. I hope the next time I revisit this topic it's a lot more positive. That the view I have of myself is different and not so negative as it is now.
If anyone reading this is struggling with body image and/or self worth I hope this helps. Simply for the fact that you know you're not alone. If anyone has any tips, suggestions, or has a need to say something feel free to comment.
