A JOURNEY TO SELF LOVE AGAIN: LET'S GET REAL

TOO SKINNY, TOO FAT, TOO FIT, TOO UNFIT, TOO IMPULSIVE, TOO CONTROLLING, TOO STRICT, TOO FREE, TOO ADDICTED, TOO RESTRICTED...

Self Image. It needs to be addressed more often, in an honest, authentic and relatable way. It’s no topic to take lightly or simply brush over because the truth is, for too many of us it has and perhaps still is controlling our lives. Our thoughts, every day decisions, interactions with others and the way we live our lives can be affected. And perhaps in these moments we don’t realise just how controlling and deliberating it is. So let’s get real, let’s talk about it because it’s likely that we actually aren’t the only ones feeling this way. Let’s help each other out, be a listening ear and a shoulder to cry on. Let’s not be afraid to reach out for help so that we can have healthy bodies, healthy emotions and healthy minds.

Let me remind you...

SO WHERE ARE YOU AT?

Do you find yourself wishing you could change the way you look? Do you feel pressure to look, act or be a certain way? Do you restrict what you eat on a regular basis? Do you feel like a failure when you can't reach your goals? Do you get upset when you go shopping and can't seem to find anything that looks good on you? Do you skip that beach trip because you can't stand the thought of finding swimmers to wear? Do you feel like you keep hitting wall after wall after wall and you will never able to reach your goals? Does self-image control your every day thoughts more then it should?

If you relate to any of these, don't worry you're not alone. I've been there too. Let's tackle this together. Stay tuned for what's to come in this series. It's for you.
