Day 13: Your Opinion About Your Body and How Comfortable You Are With It

I've have my good days and bad days when it comes to how I feel about my body and how comfortable I feel with it.

On my good days I love my body. I appreciate my curves. I adore my smile. I love my hair. I like my complexion. And Im just fine with my height.

On my bad days I absolutely hate my body. Im disgusted with my curves. I hide my smile. I hate my hair. I cant stand my complexion. And Im frustrated with my height.

I'm normally pretty sure and confident with myself but I cant say im always loving or comfortable with my body. Sure there are things i'd like to change or days I wish I could change everything - but there are also days when I love everything about myself. Days where I want to show myself off to the world and days where I want to hide at home in my sweats all day. I've learned to accept myself but that doesn't mean im not self-conscious. I do care about what others think but I've also learned when its alright to care and when its just plain stupid to care what others think. I think my greatest struggle is with my weight. I can be very self-conscious about that. Sometimes I get so wrapped up in my weight that I cant stand to look at myself in the mirror - sometimes even becoming depressed over it. But i'm very moody and my depression and self hate luckily dont last very long. Im good at picking myself back up.

I would say I am comfortable enough with my body to know I am a beautiful girl who doesn't need to worry about how big my waist is, how nice my smile is, how shiny my hair is - but how confident I can be with who I am - because that's where true beauty lies.
