I beg you to love yourself.
I know its hard on most days but, I'm begging you to stand in front of the mirror and give all of your love to yourself. Please do that for me.
I'm wishing I did.
Today I pulled out the scale.
Today I readjusted my bracelets.
Today I had to readjust the adjustable ring I wear, to close a little more around my finger. Today I didn't have to suck it in to button the shorts I have been dying to fit into since last year.
But, I also noticed that my skin was not looking the best.
I noticed more hair came out when I brushed it.
I realized my unhealthy habits over the last three months were finally catching up to me. It doesn't help I have preexisting conditions.
The compliments are nice but, I have put my body through too much stress and I regret it.
I looked at myself in the mirror because, I'm finally seeing results. I'm finally feeling that beautiful everyone claims to see when they look at me.
But, here's the thing. I wish I had noticed it months ago when I was just fine the way I was. I wish I worked out with my brother instead of skipping meals for the third day. I wish I had more water instead of coffee or energy drinks. Ones I knew that would have no affect on my ADD driven system.
So, I beg you. Please love yourself as you are.
There is so much more to life than feeling pretty or skinny. No one is worth the pain and suffering you'll end up putting yourself through.
I love you.
You should love yourself, too.
