Like a lot of people, I’ve gained weight as I’ve aged. I’ll find myself thinking how ugly I look and have to stop and remind myself that I don’t have to be pretty. It doesn’t have to be the thing I bring to the table. I’m hard working. I’m funny. Im smart. I’m loyal. There’s plenty of reasons people like me and it isn’t because of how I look. And reminding myself of that makes it easier to stop obsessing about my appearance for a little while. If I’m not around people who I’m interested in romantically/sexually, then what does it matter how I look? But my initial, knee jerk reaction to anything is always appearance. Then I can move on to healthy thoughts.
