Love yourself

I have been doing a thing called "cleaning out my life," meaning I am getting rid of what ever is keeping my back from moving forward. The first step to this whole new thing is my room. I have never really realized how much crap I have until I took it apart section by section. One of those things that have clogged up my life are diet books. Every girls best friend and worst enemy. It's pathetic that while more than half the world is starving we are starving ourselves to fit into this unrealistic image we have been given thanks to Hollywood and Vogue. Get rid of the diet books, pills and fads and start to embrace and love your body it is unique and beautiful. First step to self love for me is to stop worrying about the number on the scale. I have as of today gotten rid of every single diet book and I am going to start loving me and all my imperfections. It only took about nine years to hit this realization but it's worth it. As a woman I have been "dieting" since I was ten. I have done everything from liquids to Atkins and they all lead to disappointments. Sure, there are things I wish I could change about myself, but then again I don't. It's become somewhat a challenge to see different faces on TV cuz they all somehow look the same. From personality to looks, somehow Hollywood has succeed at morphing into one big puddle of idiots with no originality. If that's what I have been aiming for, then I am the idiot not see that being different from what is shown on TV and magazines is beautiful and it should be embraced. Now when I look at other people walking down the streets there is beauty in each and every single person. It's time that we love ourselfs because love comes and goes but love for yourself always stays even in the most difficult times.
