Instagram's Body Transformations
I am so happy and proud of those people for achieving their goals. But seeing so many people changing themselves reminds me that plus size people are not welcome here. I have always been bullied for my weight but I think the biggest bully I have is myself. Every time I see those photos I think of all the diets I could try, or how many extra steps I could take to lose some weight. I look online for easy diets. By the time I realize how stupid it is to do that because someone else might want me to, I feel shitty. I feel like I am not good enough and I go on this spiral. Of depression and anxiety and fear. Pure fear. Somehow I keep my optimism there by thinking how good the food I eat is, and how I won't be happy at the gym, or eating salads. I find myself thinking of my partner and how they love me right now for who I am. I believe everyone can be beautiful. I feel like slowly I am getting better at loving myself. Thankfully I follow a body positive account who I couldn't thank enough for small reminders that we are all beautiful and being plus size does not change how sexy you can be.
