I was looking back at past journals tonight because I couldn't sleep. I read a page from 2004 which means I would have been 8. In this entry I was basically just filling in information about myself (after all it was a new journal).
I came to a sentence where I listed my weight. I also stated that I need to lose weight and better start paying more attention to the weight loss show Biggest Loser in order to lose weight. I also drew a picture of a stick figure with a little head and a HUGE body. It was the saddest thing.
I came to the conclusion that I have always considered myself "fat" my whole life.
My advice to you friends, those who have children--Stress to them that THEY ARE BEAUTIFUL! And that its INNER BEAUTY that matters
Those who don't have children--treat yourself like a child! And remember that YOU ARE BEAUTIFUL! And anyways, Its inner beauty that matters <3
Oh honey, as much as I thought I did that -- obviously not enough. I also can't stress how important that is and I am saddened by this also, but so proud of how far you have come in your healing process. Love you for you!
