@_emilysworld: "I have said... âIâll be happier when I am a size Xâ or âIâll be happy in my skin when I weigh X amountâ. I used to constantly tie my happiness to achieving a certain weight or body size, but even after reaching those goals, I still feel unsatisfied and there was always another thing I wanted to then change đ So whatâs my advice? You donât have to love every single part of your body, itâs ok to want to work on yourself and change. BUT whatever stage you are at, try to accept yourself as you are RIGHT NOW. Speak to yourself kindly, donât let your mind bully your body, YOUâRE STRONG (i promise) you can do that! đ«¶đŒ Instead of focusing on what you see as flaws, shift your mindset towards acceptance, I know it may seem âwishy washyâ to some but itâs so helpful. By learning to appreciate and accept yourself as you are, you can find happiness in the present moment and stop waiting. đ„șI know this is cliche but our bodies really are our home, forever!!! So letâs not spend our whole lives in a self-destructive household <3 đ©·You deserve to be happy RIGHT NOW. â€ïžYou deserve to live life FULLY right now. đYou are all incredible, just as you are, no matter where you are on your journey <3"
