Comfortable in my own skin...a journey of self-healing.

It’s taken me a long time to get comfortable in my own skin.
.
For as long as I can remember, I’ve been self conscious about my overall appearance.
.
I was a goofy kid in school, had all the hand-me-down clothes, coke bottle glasses starting in second grade (thanks genetics 😏) and just always felt...awkward.
.
After stating middle school, I endured a lot of ridicule and jokes about my frizzy hair and tomboy looks.
.
My grandma would always take us to thrift stores when we’d visit and I ended up with styles from 15-20 years before I was even a thought. She meant well and I loved her for it, but I often felt embarrassed and self-conscious in my dated, well-worn outfits.
.
It was a daily struggle for me, not feeling comfortable in my clothes, or my body.
.
During the toughest time of my life back in 2005, my self esteem hit the lowest point.
.
I was depressed, eating my cares away and 30lbs overweight.
.
None of my clothes fit properly.
.
I felt bloated, sluggish and tired all the time.
.
My mindset was constantly negative,I wore a smile when necessary, but the sadness and frustration behind it was deeper than most would have ever guessed.
.
I dealt with some very difficult life lessons those years...
.
One thing became crystal clear to me was that my mindset had to change before anything else would.
.
I’d needed the strength to overcome my weaknesses and build the discipline to take care of myself.
.
If I could go back in time, this is what I would have told myself in those darkest days...
.
Pray every day...seek God in all you do and He will guide your steps.
.
Put away the past hurts. It does you no good to dwell on things that have already happened that you can’t change.
.
Focus less on the external, and dive into the heart of what brings you to life inside.
.
Don’t worry so much about what others think...odds are they could care less and you cause yourself that much more worth dwelling on hypotheticals.
.
Be kind to yourself. You are unique and wonderfully made, and deserve to live a happy and fulfilled life.
