Not Time For Shaming

[Kingdomaire]

This morning, I decided to weigh myself, got on the scale, finally after running for some weeks.  LOL.  I had gained about 8 pounds, now the goal was to lose 8 pounds. I kept going over my calories.  I tend to be overly concerned about things I can't change, instead of focusing on the things I can.   Anyway, I decided to shift my mindset from disappointment to gratitude. I lost the weight before I can lose it again. I also did not gain back all the weight I lost.  That is something else to be grateful for.  I thought about how I looked and felt late 2019, I smiled. I still have time to get the rest of the weight off this year.  There was a time when subconsciously I would shame myself but today, I decided that I would not waste my time torturing myself. I also decided to think about my choices and focus on the now.

There's a mental weight that can attach itself to a person's weight loss journey. That weight, called shame, can inhibit the rate and timing of weight loss. I'm glad you intentionally stepped from under shame's weight and lightened your mental load. Congrats!

I'm glad you didn't let it get to you! ? It's easy to fall into the habit of shaming yourself instead of finding things to be grateful for, and I think even more so during these uncertain times. I definitely have moments where I'm stressed about my lack of exercise while being on lockdown and unable to go outside, but it's important to be gentle and kind to ourselves ?

Self-love is being completely content of who you are , with no sense of comparison to others, where you realize that there is a Super Star in you. Living with the intention and not haphazardly - when you wake up and you are ready to face the world with smile and positive attitude. When you realize that no one is perfect and no one will ever be, accepting yourself as you are with your imperfections and flows, where you make a mistake and forgive yourself, where you are kind to yourself, committed to yourself and caring for yourself.Self-love is when you look at yourself in the mirror and remind yourself how lovable and amazing you are, look into yourself with pride and dignity and finally celebrating who you are ever day.✍

Beautiful post!!! I'm learning to love myself more everyday.......Every morning I wake up, I say these affirmations to myself:

 

I am creating my own love.

I am enough.

Love is always flowing through me.

Self love for me is accepting myself the way I am. No matter who discriminates me on any basis. I feel blessed to have such a self built personality that I don't allow anyone to make me sad and keeping going in the deeper part of the life.
