Shhhh. Stop Degrading Yourself.

Have you hear of the term fat talk? Honestly- I hadn't really heard that term... but I participated in it everyday. Every time I look in the mirror or put on something to wear my mind is filled with negativity and shaming.About two weeks ago I made a startling inward discovery (long before I saw this video). My desperation to look skinny and hot and sexy was destroying my psyche and ripping open little cracks in my self esteem. My husband still looks at me and tells me I am beautiful but I look at myself and see only my out-of-shape body.I need to be healthier... not more beautiful. If I can't look in the mirror and recognize that I am unique and beautiful now- then I won't be able to see that when I'm healthy and strong. When it comes down to it- my body shape is my body shape. I will always have a curvy, short little body- what I can have is a tone, healthy, and strong curvy, little body. That's what I want.I would never talk to anyone else like I talk to myself- I have to correct that. Stay strong as you change how to talk to yourself though! This isn't a instantaneous shift in my thoughts- I can't just suddenly turn off my fat talk. I'm not going to just allow myself to continue anymore- day by day I'm going to change a negative thought and replace it with a healthy one.And on a sidenote- brands are getting sneaky these days aren't they? I'm not trying to push or promote the brand in this video in any way. I'm trying to push a healthier attitude and approach to life- not a brand of food.
