I Struggle With My Body Image

Huge hair.
Big nose.
Huge calves.

Just not pretty. At all.

Even mom keep reminding me that. Because she was a petite pretty woman back then that she seemed to compare her look with mine. That even when someone said I’m pretty, she just kept saying that that’s bs.

Heard all that growing up, I ended up believing it.

I don’t know when it happened. But. Now I can accept how I look. When someone flaunt my flaws now, I just gonna leave that person in silent... 😌

I'm sorry to hear this. I grew up constantly being reminded that I wasn't good enough, and didnt look good enough because I was always chubby. Its very scarring, and unfair. Its hard to forget those harsh words. I'm 43 and I still struggle daily with self acceptance. I have healed a lot over the years, but the scars still remain. I really like that you have been able to work through it. So positive...🤗

nothingnessssssssssssss

@Sunnykel76 hehe... I have to. We have to! Though I do agree that the scars shall remain. But. We shouldn’t, ever, let others make us down. They’re not worth our thoughts 🤗
