You can’t keep being angry with that reflection in the mirror if you aren’t doing the things to change something about it.
I avoided mirrors. Would get dressed in the corner of my bedroom so I couldn’t catch a glance of my body. I buried my head in the sand, out of sight out of mind. Then I’d get these painstaking moments. Walking past a shop window, an unflattering photo taken that I’d try and refuse to be in. It would bring it back to reality, then I’d comfort eat to make myself feel better. The never ending hamster wheel.
Let this be your Thursday motivation that plan didn’t come easy to me, I’d spent years of burying my head in the sand, trying to embrace a fuller figure. But I was unhappy, I could do all the fancy make up under the sun, the posh shoes, the bags, none of it made me feel better, I was so unhappy inside and only I could change it.
It can feel scary, it can feel like your about to rip a plaster off, but nothing worth having comes without a bit of sacrifice! Draw inspiration from those around you, but do this for you.
