Hot girl summer

May 18, 2021 /

It’s beginning to be summer time. What does summer time mean? It means warmer weather and less clothing. Less clothing as in shorts and tanks and swim suits. What does that mean? It means people are going to start fad diets and looking at others with envious eyes.

Usually envy and jealousy come at weird moments. You don’t want to be envious. You don’t want to be comparing yourself to others. Sometimes it just happens. For me I put a lot of my identity in my pant size. I was the skinny girl for a long time. Not size zero skinny but skinny.
when I gained weight my first year of college I was devastated. I was depressed and from that depression came a lot of comfort from food. It’s hard sometimes to see what you look like now compared to the past.
For me, I tried everything. Trying to eat less, buying the healthier food, trying to Chloe Ting workouts and I could not keep to any of it.
I still can’t. I am STILL dealing with my feelings of dislike of my body. I am still dealing with my weight gain and struggling to love me for me.
I love the tik toks that say things like “my body is the least interesting thing about me.” It’s true. You’re not just a body. You are a mind and a spirit!!
It’s heartbreaking hating yourself and comparing yourself to others.
this week let’s look at who we ARE as people and not our bodies. You are more than what you eat and what size you are. You are beautiful. You have been created for this time with such purpose and such precision.
God does not make mistakes. He makes masterpieces.
Let’s get through summer together, loving ourselves where we are at not where we wish we were.
