Everyone always say just love yourself and give yourself grace but is it really that easy? I don’t think so.
I think it’s a practice that we have to build and work at.
I know that when I was going through it and was at my heaviest very soon after being at my smallest - I couldn’t give myself love or grace because in my eyes, I felt like I had “messed up” and didn’t deserve it (even though I did).
But what I could give myself was acceptance. Accepting where I was at and how I was feeling rather than suppress it.
After a while, acceptance turned to liking, liking turned into fondness, and then that fondness for myself and my body turned into love.
So if you feel like you’ll never be able to love yourself then try just accepting yourself first 🌸
