I love this incredible picture. I love even more your message about loving ourselves more, and accepting ourselves as kindly as we do others. It's so right on. We tend to be more loving to others than ourselves! I definitely relate to this. I have a long road behind me filled with serious medical issues, a low slow thyroid, serious **ting disorders, all sorts of painful things going back to childhood. From a very young age I was convinced I was ugly, fat, and unlovable. When I was well into

...adulthood, my mom out of nowhere finally told me why my parents never said anything nice about me when I was a little girl (which led to me having zero self worth). She casually said, "We just decided we didn't want to give you a big head". ๐ณ I think my brain exploded a little inside. All the hospitalizations, all the heartache, the depression, my hatred/ fear of food, all the people and things I accepted in my life who hurt me because I believed I deserved it... I can't repair what's been

...done to my body, but I'm working on looking at myself with a more forgiving gaze. I work on telling myself that I am beautiful as I am, that there are worthwhile people out there that will love me for myself, and to be gentle & patient with myself. One day at a time pretty much! But one thing I know for sure, I'm strong & I'm a survivor. I'm proud of that & I've earned it. I have a feeling a lot of women can say this. We should. ๐คโค๐ฏ

@andriavanb When I was 17, my parents told me they didn't hug me because I didn't do anything that made them want to. I went through a stint for years where I wouldn't let anyone touch me. Forty years later, I still don't like my mother hugging me. I called her out on that and she said it was my step dad who said it ... really??!??
My body was damaged by diet after diet. I was skinny until my tonsils were removed. Within 6 months of that surgery, I grew 6 inches and almost doubled my body

@andriavanb weight. No one could handle having a pudgy kid ... so the diets started at age 7. My body stores every calorie for famine ... as we still operate at our primal genetic function.
My metabolism is non existent. But, I now kind of see it as a genetic issue not a personal issue. We truly seem to have so much in common.
Maybe we should start a support group away from Recolor ... there is a lot of pain here. Lovies!!

@Kimi Shadle-Schaeffer It is regarding my physical self ....
other than the fact that I tend to be overly sensitive at times and want to micro manage at times too ... I love myself ... it's just the physical shell that I tend to be cruel to.
BTW ... truly, I have always loved noses that were different, bigger maybe.
When I was young I had a crush on David Brenner because of his nose ... I love a bigger nose on a man ... Ray Romano ... oh yeah. lol
I bet your nose is lovely ... โค๐

Wow. First the pic is beautiful. But your story is real, raw and so amazing. I admire you and your work so much, and now even more. Thereโs so much in your story I relate to. Health issues forever, weight issues for sure. Even tho for me the battle has been 25-30 pounds, Iโm s small stature person so it def shows, lol. But the real point is not the number, itโs really about the power that these things have over how we feel about ourselves. I grew up heavy,

Unpopular, the last picked for the team, and all the feelings of being less-than that goes with it. I remember one time when I was nine, my sister, who was my only sister and was 17 years older than I, made fun of me when I got too fat to fit into my panties, and she made a joke that maybe they would fit her. I died inside. I felt so hurt and embarrassed. But I never told her. I knew she wasnโt trying to hurt me, but I also felt I didnโt have a right to say anything. You know, like bring fat
