Your weight is one thing. How you feel about it is another.
It’s easy to confuse losing weight with a boost of confidence/happiness, but one actually doesn’t CAUSE the other. They might happen simultaneously, but working on your head (and satisfaction with your body) is a whole other issue. If you’re not just as focused with trying to acheive body acceptance and doing more of what makes you happy, that body you want won’t mean much…even if you get it.
Don’t wrap up your happiness in your weight. You’ll never be satisfied. Believe it or not, you might get the body you want and still be unhappy (it’s fairly common). Don’t ignore everything else that makes you YOU. Those things end up being MORE important than what you look like at the end of the day, trust me.
Body love takes practice. Start with changing the way you talk about your body. Discourage negative body talk with those around you and don’t engage in it yourself. If you spend too much time picking yourself apart in the mirror, STOP.
It’s not cool to hate your body. Hating your body is NOT healthy. Work on changing the way you SEE your body, changing how you RELATE to it. View it as a vehicle and not an obstacle. Something you have to protect, not mold to unrealistic standards. Something that takes you places and not something that holds you back. Happiness and body satisfaction is in your head. It has little to do with your body, though making healthier choices is always a good thing.
It takes practice, but trust me, it’s worth it. You can’t hate yourself healthy. OR happy.
Thin isn’t happy. Happy is happy.
Have a Happy and Healthy Day, Cheers :)
