With all the Kendall Jenner's in the world today I personally feel that women, including myself have become more and more self conscious and have increasing body worries. I know from scrolling through my own instagram I see countless images of beautiful women, whom I admire for their bodies and of course their own willpower to work hard to get, and maintain their figures. BUT among of all these beautiful Gigi Hadid's and Cara Delevingne's, there are young women out there judging their own physiques and in-turn self hating.
I can honestly say I find a new fault with my body every single day. There is always something I don't like and I know I'm not alone in this. I feel like my life is like that scene in Mean Girls when they are all standing in front of the mirror talking about their imperfections and being honest I am just sick of it, we women should be bringing each other up not tearing each other down. EVERYONE is self-conscious about something. EVERYONE at some stage does not feel beautiful. These are the times when we should compliment each other make everyone feel as beautiful as they truly are. Love yourself for who you are and what you have because there's nothing (besides plastic surgery) that you can do about that. You are unique, there is one aspect of your body someone else envies and I can promise you that.
I speak from the heart with regard to this subject. As a teenager I struggled with bulimia, it was a long dark road which I now feel like I have learned a lot from and carry with me to my future along with life lessons I have now learned to love myself for who I am. It really does kill me when I see a woman 'fat-shaming' or 'skinny-shaming' another woman. Why do it? Why not focus on yourself? Try to make you the best version of yourself, that is what I am hoping to do.
Having said all this I am trying actively to try and improve my own personal body image. I know I may not have many blog posts, but I do have outfits I would love to share but I honestly am too embarrassed of my body and just would not feel comfortable posting solo photos of myself on my blog. I really need to build this confidence for myself because without it I know my blog will be short lived. To do this I am planning to COMMIT to a healthy lifestyle, this means healthy food, no counting calories or any of that stuff, just trying to lose half a stone before summer arrives.
This summer I am going on a J1 (student working visa) to San Francisco for three months. I don't want to feel uncomfortable in shorts, a bikini or anything like that. I want to enjoy the summer, be able to post instagram pictures of me in anything I want and not feel self conscious. I want this for me, I feel I deserve it, there's nothing I want more than to be healthy and fit and I know I can do this.
I am going to post a weekly food diary if anyone is interested or wants to come on this journey with me! I would love that!
I include my last photo of my old self out on the drink getting wrecklessly drunk and not giving a damn what I was putting into my body! Onwards and Upwards as they say!
