You are a soul. You are a mind. You are not fat. You have fat. You also have fingernails, but you aren’t fingernails, are you? You have hair, but you aren’t hair, are you? You have fat, but you are not fat. You are beautiful.

I see a lot of tumblr pictures saying things like “strength is being able to hold a smile on your face when you are crying on the inside” I think it takes a million times more strength to let your feelings out, ask for help when you need it, and let your self be vulnerable. The way I see it, anyone can hold things inside and suffer in silence, but it takes real strength to allow to admit to yourself that you need help and seek it.
It’s more than that.
This journey means:
Feeling empowered and full of strength.
Embracing each and every imperfection.
Challenging my body beyond imaginable.
Finally being at peace with myself.
Learning how to listen to my body.
Finding motivation and determination I never knew I had.
Proving that anything is possible.This journey means creating a bond of self love and appreciation, that no scale could ever determine.

I’ve been seeing meal plans online for people wanting to get in shape and build muscle and eat healthy and what not.
A LOT of these plans restrict foods that I don’t believe should be restricted. Several of these plans say ‘limit yourself to one small fruit a day’ regarding the fruit intake. I…
And it’s taken me 6 months to become this strong.
And it’s taken me 6 months to realize I’m perfectly fine the way I am.
I hope you understand when I say I love you, I always have and always will, but I have to remember to love myself more. I can’t lose myself again. I can’t.
So happyyyyyyyyyy! I hope my knee won’t start hurting, but today was fine. I’ll take it slow though. I just want to enjoy the feeling of moving my body, breath the fresh air, feel the sun on my face and be happy!
Well, back to work :D
Hope you are having a nice day too!

I’ve been eating clean for the last couple of weeks, not 100% though. If I crave something, I will have, may it be clean or not, to prevent me from binging, which works fine.
I just got home and had a frozen pizza. It was just horrible!! It was like eating pure salt and the meat had no taste at all. So I think I cured from my cravings for frozen pizza for a while.
I just want to thank you, clean eating, for retraining my taste buds to appreciate healthy food!

If you speak German, I highly recommend watching this documentary about body image.
- society: ew thick girls
- society: ew thin girls
- society: ew no makeup
- society: ew too much makeup
- society: ew you're rude
- society: ew you're too nice
- society: ew plastic surgery
- society: ew you need a makeover
- society: ew you're not perfect
- society: ew you're too perfect
- society: ew
- The truth is you will never be good enough for "society" you just need to be good enough for yourself and happiness will find you.
