I want to be healthy and strong and not give even the smallest of fucks about what people think

Keywords: {0}

I always say I don’t care what people think of me so why am I so concerned with my weight and how I look. But I read something today about the shame that women feel about their bodies, despite the absolute fucking slog they go through every day of their lives. It made me think – I’m probably right when I say I don’t really care what other people think but maybe I care what I think and maybe that is shame. Do I feel ashamed because I’m “fatter” than most people around me? Do I feel ashamed because my stomach that was home to two beautiful babies for 9 months (absolutely fucking huge babies might I add) isn’t flat? I mean it isn’t even round, I don’t know what shape it is! Do I feel ashamed that I weigh more than my partner? Do I feel ashamed when I eat something “bad”?

Recognizing and acknowledging the power I have and powers I want to have are the keys to making real change

Just having passed a power station, it struck me that I feel powerful. I have no problem describing myself as strong, but do not generally identify with power. That needs to change.

I want to chase success everyday and want to help and guide and support to anyone who’s lost and helpless and weak like my younger self

I used to be innocent and lost, seeking for right direction. It was like I was aware of my potential, but needed right direction and support. I felt sorry for younger me, for the times there was no one to support, guide and understand my actions. But with time and experiences I’ve learned so much and grown up. I’m happy with this version of myself and will try to improve more.

I am stronger than my thoughts, I am in control of my own mind

Recently, I have been practicing that phrase to help center me in times of high anxiety and doubt. It did just that, and this time it helped me remember how badly I want to think back on this moment 8 months from now and laugh for being scared to start, how badly I want to feel comfortable 3 weeks from now when I shop for my wedding dress, and how badly I want to continue to write these blogs with an honest hand.
