Liking myself is something I have struggled with my entire life. I'm always comparing myself to others, telling me that I'm not good enough, not thin enough, not likeable enough. People have always told me I constantly look angry and that I don't smile enough. Last year that changed, I have made an effort to appreciate myself and accept who I am wholeheartedly, to laugh more, smile more and to not take life so seriously! In all of that love for me I have also changed my diet (eating more plant based foods) and lost 75 # in about 13 months (with covid, quarantine and all)! Recently I have had extremely elevated inflammation levels and my doctor wanted me to take medicine🤮 (if you know me you know I refuse to take a Tylenol for a headache). I told her I can do it without the medicine, that I would prefer another lifestyle change! She gave me a month and I DID IT!!!!! Can you believe I DID NOT even have to take bread out of my diet🎉🎉 that means no rice flours, tapioca starches or any other stupid foods, just whole grains and whole foods!!! It's amazing what loving yourself and going back to food basics can do for your body! I don't like posting about myself but I felt that maybe I could help somebody else who might be going through a similar experience. Love you first because YOU ARE ABSOLUTELY WORTH IT😘💕
