Let me start off by saying that it is just a number. And secondly, I am perfectly okay with being a size ten. But this number does not define who I am as a person and it does not define who you are as a person. I'm not saying that everyone is like this. In fact, I would say that I feel this way a lot as well. But I find that I compare myself to other girls. Sometimes I wish I was not a size ten. I would wish that I could be a couple sizes smaller.
But we all need to remember something. The size in which we are does not define who we are. I find myself wanting to lose weight. But am I losing weight for the right reasons? I have to do all of this for myself. I cannot be doing this to look like someone else.
What I have learned over the years is that there is no such thing as the "perfect size". Also there is no such thing as perfect anything. Everyone is different for a reason. And we have to learn to love ourselves. If you are a size two, six, ten, or even fourteen, do not think it is not good enough.
I would go into the stores and yeah it is pretty annoying when they have all these sizes except for mine. I would always put myself down for that. "If only I was smaller, I would be able to buy this pair of jeans." And it sucked. I felt like I was being punished for being a size ten. For the longest time I would beat myself up for that. That it was my fault for being my size.
But you just have to realize something. That it is important to love yourself and most importantly love how you look as well. So what you may not be the size you want. You are able to work on it but you have to remember to do it for you.
Yes, I am a size ten. And of course I have my days I feel really insecure. But even on my bad days I make sure I tell myself that it is just a number. The size of my clothing does not reflect who I am as a person. We need to stop focusing on our looks and try to realize that being ourselves and truly staying true to who we are are most important.
We have to remember that people do not look for what size you are when getting to know you. And I am sure you have heard this a million times but people want to get to know you and who you are as a person. And sometimes I feel like people are too worried about they way they look and their size.
I do the same thing. I wake up and I want to look my best. I do not want people to know I am unhappy with how my body is. But at the end of the day I have to remember that this is who I am and I need to love myself.
Yes, I am a size ten. Am I happy? Of course I am. And you should be too.
