I just need to get this off my chest...

My entire life I'm struggling with my weight. I was a skinny child, I was in dance and gymnastics. But someone somewhere told me I was Fat! because I wasn't a size 0. Today was the first day of me starting a weight loss journey I had been working out for months but I just started a diet today. I meal preped for the first time. And the entire day I felt like I was starving!!! And it just brought me back to being 14 with an eating disorder. Starving myself for weeks because I felt ugly. Even tho I wasn't fat at all. And now here I am like 40 pounds over weight. Trying to do it the heathy way and feel more confident on my 21st birhday in 2 months. Yet here I am crying my eyes out because Today I felt like I was 14 again fighting those self hatred thoughts saying... you deserve to feel hungry because you did this to your body. I'm not obese. But I'm not fit. I just want to feel confident and beautiful and love my body and I just don't feel like I'm ever going to be good enough. Diets just f...... suck!

Don't listen to some clown telling you something negative. If the person can't accept you for you, then piss on them. You have to be happy with yourself, first and foremost, and not get caught up in what someone else's image of you should be like.

So many young ladies are trying to live up to some illusory, female image stereotype, projected by Hollywood and the culture-at-large. It's just unrealistic.
