I have seen a lot of threads on here recently criticizing people for not "loving themselves". Like somehow if we aren't happy with our bodies we don't love ourselves. I am sorry but that is just judgemental bull****. I love myself...I know that I am a smart, funny, caring person. I know that my selfworth is not a number on a scale. However, I am not crazy about my body. I know that I need to and can change things about it. It is precisely because I do love myself that I am here to make these changes. So next time you see a post about someone unhappy with their thighs or whatever don't jump to the conclusion that the person doesn't love themselves.

We are all looking to make changes that is why we are here.

*kicks soap box*

I am done.

*edited because I typed this on my phone and left a freaking letter off a word.

And for the record...LOVING yourself is a lovely way to start the day.

    I wish I had read this before I got out of bed this morning.

    I would have loved myself first, just to start my day off right.

    Oh well.

    Well you could always give yourself love at lunch ;) I believe that would be called a nooner.

    Thank you for reminding me. I really need to get a detachable shower head.

    After reading this thread, maybe I'll go pick one up today. :)

    Preach it, sister! I get criticized by friends ALL THE TIME for wanting to lose weight because I should "realize I'm beautiful just as I am."

    OK, I don't think I'm hideous or anything. Life experience has shown me I'm at least mildly attractive and I even sometimes like what I see when I look in a mirror or at a photo. But I want a smaller, tighter body and there's nothing wrong with that. I'm FAR from underweight, so it's not like they're worried I have an ED.

    The guys on this post are funny... love to see people not taking everything so seriously. I'm of the opinion that people chime in with the virtual finger pointing "let me tell YOU something about YOU that you don't know" (Ron White style) because they love being the Great Wise One who imparts their wisdom on the poor huddled masses who will then see the light and build a shrine in their honor. Whenever anyone tries to tell me what my problem is I automatically think of all their problems and while I'm doing that I totally miss what they are telling me... don't think I'm alone in doing this. ; )

    Well said!

    We must remember that just because we may not like our appearance or current state of physical health, does not mean we don't love ourselves. By having focus, making the choices, and taking action to get us to our goals only proves that we do. Otherwise, we wouldn't be on here making that journey.
