I’m finally starting to love what I see in the mirror again. Finally starting to look at myself with confidence instead of disgust.
So many of you ask me how I’m so confident and love myself so much. But truth is, my confidence is shattered easily by those who know how to get past my walls. And once it’s gone, it’s a constant struggle to get it back. It’s a battle every single day not to look down at my body and think- “God, my thighs are fat. I look gross and heavy. And my stomach? Look at the way it bulges out. How can anyone find me attractive?” I want to sit and pick out every flaw and imperfection and then rip away my own skin and rebuild myself into someone who’s skinnier, prettier.
But slowly, those thoughts are fading and becoming nothing but a whisper. I can look at myself now and not want to puke or punch the mirror. I’ve got a long way to go, but I can do it.
And so can you.
