That’s the time I need my 📱 taken away.1 -
Went on a weekend road trip, had a lovely lovely time. We had good food, lots of physical activity but after viewing photos I felt discouraged like I haven't been doing enough to lose the weight. I still feel I look like I'm over 300 pounds...its really frustrating knowing that..that is why people look at me the way they do when I enter a room or when I occupy any type of space.
I know none of that should matter and I've worked on seeing myself for who I am NOT my weight but the photos just made ALL of those insecurities rush back.
Going to try and not let this knock me down and instead use it as a reminder of why I work everyday to make good choices and to be active.
I used to carry so much hate towards myself and I never want to feel that way again.9 -

I struggle with feeling like my outside doesn’t match my inside, both as an older woman and as someone who carries more weight than is fashionable. I don’t really know what the healthy response to that is but I do what I can to reflect who I am on the inside and to bring my selves into alignment without hurting my body or my mind. It’s rough.

This is exactly my struggle. I'm in my 20's I have lots of energy and a personality that just doesn't fit my size and sometimes I forget about it and I can live content and enjoy myself but then something reminds me "oh, you're overweight." And I have to process it and remember to be kind to myself which is not easy at all.

I don’t know you but reading this made me think of my oldest son. You should be happy and content. Do the best you can with what GOD gave you. Be proud of yourself and whatever hard work you put in. It’s about being healthy the other will come. It’s all about consistency and that sucks to hear for some people but it’s the truth. I can assure you though, no matter who we are and what improvements we make our eyes go straight to our problem areas when we look in the mirror. **insert corny dad joke here**. Sorry couldn’t actually think of one so I’ll end with a 🤗6

I appreciate you sharing this. We all have insecurities. I have been borderline obese and very fit. The insecurities and self hatred might morph, but don’t go away because weight was lost.
Good to see you are looking at yourself as a whole person (physical, mental, spiritual). It’s healthy that you see those insecurities arise and can see them for what they are. Basically lies. You are invaluable, no matter what the state of your body is. Cheers to you for seeing some of this and working it out in your 20s rather than later in life (like moi)3 -

That's just as awkward as having a supposed friend blocking you from you seeing their updates0 -

Your post resonates so much with me. I remember cringing when I had to weigh myself at the doctor's office. But then read the sign they had posted above the scale. It said something like 'this scale cannot measure your kindness and what's in your heart'. You get the idea.
Keep thinking and moving forward, we all have our backwards days, our days when we feel like we've worked so hard and it's not enough, our days when our insecurities shine more than our realities. Accepting ourselves is such a battle some days, isn't it? I'll find myself thinking sometimes, in the end what will matter the most?
Hope you have better more uplifting days ahead! A picture doesn't say everything. Neither does a scale.4 -

It's cool today!!! I've opened all the windows in the house0

Instead of making lunch for my kids before I left the house, I put out four cans of tuna, some loaves of Italian bread, and a jar of mayonnaise. I’m assuming they know how to find the onions and celery if they want it.1

I think my primer & foundation were incompatible because they did a weird cakey thing & I had to wash my face with cheap bathroom hand soap. But now I can blow my nose without being delicate0

I was scrolling the tiktok minding my business when I came across a post about where infamous mobsters are buried & it happened to be where a lot of my non mobster family is buried and then I wound up on find a grave and it’s so odd that you can be here and then not and it’s all too philosophical and strange for me but I miss my grandma so much4
