I know that a ton of women have the same problems that I have when it comes to self image. I am never happy with what I see in the mirror. It sucks sometimes. I stand in front of the mirror and look sadly at the 29 year old body of mine riddled with flaws from child birth. My thighs are too big, my stomach not firm enough. I often find myself spending hours upon hours contemplating the things I will need to do to be perfect. If I just had a tummy tuck, maybe a boob lift, maybe some skin whitening cream to fade out my scars from the c-section I had 4 years ago…
i hate feeling this way about myself. I know that I am a great person regardless of what my body looks like underneath my clothes. I know that I am smart and funny. I know that my children and my fiancee believe truly that I am beautiful inside and out. so why am i worried about what anyone else thinks? why do i not think that I am beautiful? Did the media truly distort my ideas of what perfection is? Did they define, for society, absolute beauty? Why, even though I know better, do I continue to torture myself with “perfection” plans?
It’s all easier said than done, I suppose.
Just know that we are all beautiful, no matter what we think of ourselves. God makes us who and what we are for special reasons. why tamper with his work? Instead of trying to perfect our physical appearances, concentrate on being a better person.
