I struggle with self acceptance and Im not sure y? I hoping with the weight loss and more respect for myself this will no longer be an issue. I have always wanted to fit in with my girlfriends but I feel I stand out like a sore thumb. I used to be a social butterfly and now a days im a hermet crab. I struggle with being around a crowd of people It makes me very anxious. Im not my normal bubbly friendly self. Im shy quiet and come off rude and snobby but by no means am I any of that. With this weight loss journey im on im hopping to find me again. Lose weight and gain self acceptance and I know I can do it with support and motivation. And When I go out I can feel great and have a good time instead of worrying about hiding my fat rolls or when I sit down can you see my back fat.....My goal is to go out have fun for me and no one else and look great doing it......

 

Being a single mom I don't go out often so this will be all new to me again. It's a chore to get me to go to the store then I have to worry about what Im going to wear (not to look cute) just to make sure I don't look like a clown in clothes that are to tight or that don't fit me. I usually wear jeans and an oversized t-shirt that way Im covered and don't feel suffocated. So im just kinda of rambling on then point of my blog is to gain self acceptance back. I have taken responsibility for me being overweight and out of shape now I want my self acceptance back and I WILL GET IT!!!!

You are just beginning this journey and you will succeed. You have already taken the first giant step to do that. Unfortunately our society makes the overweight feel bad and unaccepted. We can choose to let them make us feel that way or we can choose to be the "bigger" person. No pun intended. Your self confidence will return as you start to see the changes your body will take from here on. Your going to do great! Best wishes to you!
