Thank you for sharing this vulnerable piece with us. I’ve just restarted my weight loss journey doing kickboxing twice a week and walking on my walking pad for at least an hour each day. I can’t wait to be in that spot of noticing the changes to my body as I put in the work. Give yourself grace when speaking to yourself, you’ve endured plenty of outside noise your entire life, it takes time to reframe your thoughts as you work on you.

Thank you so much for including me!

I’m currently trying to unlearn the beliefs I’ve held concerning not having clear skin. At this point, the pimples just keep coming and coming. I’m reminding myself that it isn’t a good or bad thing—it just is. And if my face eventually clears up again, who’s to say I won’t circle back to this phase again? I’m trying to accept myself regardless of how my skin or body looks. It’s difficult in this world but it’s also funny how I can live my day being fine and then look in the mirror and then insécurités pour in.

I hope on your journey with your body, you continue to speak kindly to and think kindly of it. It does so many amazing things and it belongs to you. No one else can give it the kind of love and care that you can.
