Low Self-Esteem Day
Posted: April 7th, 2013, 7:56 pm
Oh man.
Saw a picture of myself at an angle I am not used to seeing.. amazing how it can just ruin your day. (In fact.. I think Jim Gaffigan made a joke about that)
When I am having low self esteem I start picking at my face like crazy (plucking, messing with black heads..etc) because I want to be able to control ONE part of my self and yet I make myself look worse..
But, then I was at a family members house and they were awing over my little 8 month old son and my son is in the stage where he gets major separation anxiety.. So after a while of someone besides me holding him, he would start to fuss and reach out for me. It just hit me like a ton of bricks that you know what, I am fat, I am never going to be a Victoria Secrets model and yet here I have two little boys who love me unconditionally and they do not care what I look like. They love me for me.
It was exactly what I needed to realize. Sometimes I can tell myself that over and over again, but when it all comes in to focus.. it is pretty amazing.
