I got unsolicited weight loss advice yesterday. And while I appreciated the friend’s vulnerability in sharing what has helped her in her journey to self love, I had to tell her, “No thanks” because I’m dealing with reprogramming my brain and I have to avoid ANYTHING that might talk about weight loss and since the website for this program had giant fonts/banners solely with messages about losing weight, I didn’t think that wold be great for my mental health.
Last night I had a conversation with myself, to stop comparing my now-self to my younger-self and to others. I'm not as "fit" as I was but that's ok. Time I would've ridden miles on my bike instead I'm going to baseball and softball games and loving it. I'm not trained to do a 70.3 race in July that got deferred from last year. And I'm still telling myself, that's ok, you don't HAVE to do it.
Thank you for this post. I’m not in a good place with self love. I love that the article resonated with you.
I love all the things about this post!

Thank you for your love and transparency. 💙
