⚠Warning: RANT!⚠

While I was shopping yesterday, I overheard the typical ‘girl talk’ 👯 you’d expect to hear in a dressing room. 1⃣”Do you like this on me?”2⃣”Did it fit you?”3⃣”My stomach is so fat”4⃣”Ugh, why did I even try this on, I knew I’d look terrible in it” — The negative self-talk went on and onnn.

It really began to bother me, the things these girls were saying about themselves. They were publicly expressing HATRED for their bodies. Their self esteem was in the dumps, and they were truly disgusted by themselves …All because some stupid article of clothing didn’t look a certain way on them😒.

📢LADIES! (and gentlemen) - We’ve GOTTA step away from whatever these images are that society has force fed us from birth » The idea that size 0 is sexy, desirable and “perfect”. 👉Perfection doesn’t exist — Even if you reach that size 0, you won’t be any happier or satisfied, TRUST ME (you’ll always want more).

☝Here’s a simple solution: If it doesn’t fit - FO’GET it. It’s the clothes that suck, NOT your body. You’re beautiful.. Strive to be healthy, not skinny, and as you become healthier, that size will matter less.

🙋I mean, let me just tell you about my experience yesterday. I was shopping for jeans👖 (which I haven’t done in YEARS). I went in thinking I’d maaaaybe be a size 4 (I’m usually a 2, but since I’m bulking I gave myself some wiggle room). Guess. What.

💥Size 10💥. I legit bought size 8 & size 10 jeans. Did I moan about it? No. Despite the fact that those numbers are incredibly intimidating (in the eyes of most women), I laughed it off with mom [literally til I cried😂], and just tried on the silly things until I found some that fit.

💡What I know: Size actually doesn’t matter. Health is what is important, and I know that my lifestyle is a healthy one. I’m building muscle and feeding my body appropriate nutrients. 💪

💫Ladies and gents - Treat your body right. 💕Love it, 👣keep it moving,🍎🍅🍌 feed it what it truly needs, and love yourself💋. EVERY body truly is beautiful - Don’t waste your life away hating the 🌟only🌟 body that you get. Take care of it, and be thankful for all that it does for you. 🏃💨Leave society and it’s dumb opinions in the dust.

Serious battles going on inside these days. I say that as if they just came up recently or as if the ones that were there had gone away. But I guess they’ve always been there. Sometimes I’m just more aware of them. Normal stress I like to talk about. You know, get it out there, feel validated & less like a freak. But this kind of inner struggle… I don’t like to talk about. I want to hide it. I show the world a smile or maybe my surface emotions but never what’s deep inside. I’m afraid of everyone leaving if they see what’s really in my head and heart. Of them seeing me the way I see myself.

I’ve told my friends and family that I’m more confident now and that my self-esteem has gotten higher since school… But it’s a lie. The self-loathing hasn’t gone anywhere. In fact it’s at an all-time high. I’m not sure what to do. And telling my friends and family the truth would just make me hate myself more because I’d have to see the disappointment and misunderstanding in their faces & know that I caused it. I just know that sometimes, especially at night when the world is quiet and the voices in my head are the loudest, I don’t want to exist anymore. I don’t want to feel anything.
