- My parents don’t buy healthy food for me.
I come from a family with tons of support, but sometimes the kind of support you need for a healthy lifestyle isn’t the same kind of support needed for sports, activities, or school. When you live at home and have no control over the groceries being…
Breakfast is very important. I hear a lot of people always saying “I’m never hungry in the morning so I don’t eat breakfast to save calories”. You may be saving calories but you are more likely to over indulge later in the day. Breakfast is usually burned off by the end of the day anyways….
Day One: A facial feature you like on yourself.
Uhmm.. my lips. (:
If I had to find something about my face that I like… it’d be my lips. How the bottom lip is slightly bigger than the upper one, forming a pout.. and they’re just a simple soft light pink.. it’s the simple things.
I think now is as good a time as any to start the self-esteem challenge. I’m hoping it will help me realise there’s reason to love myself, and that I’m an okay person regardless of how much I weigh.
Posts will be tagged selfesteemchallenge and there will be a link to all entries on my blog.
Day…

You wouldn’t treat a friend the way you treat yourself…
You wouldn’t tell a friend to punish themselves by not eating breakfast because they ate dinner the previous night.
You wouldn’t like a friend any less because they gained a pound or two.
You wouldn’t tell a friend that they have no self-worth because they cannot fit into a pair of size 0 jeans.
You wouldn’t call a friend “fat” for eating dessert.
And you certainly wouldn’t think of a friend as “selfish” for asserting their needs and practicing self-care.
So why then, do you treat yourself that way?
Why are you the exception?
Why do these codes of conduct apply to others but not you?
What makes you so different that you feel you don’t deserve to be treated with the same compassion and kindness that you give so freely to everyone else?
There’s no rule that excludes you from deserving that love.
Except the one you’ve created for yourself.
It’s time for your rule be broken.
It’s time to turn the love you have for others inward.
It’s time to make peace with your body.
And it’s time to start treating yourself as a friend.
You deserve the same amount of nourishment, respect, love, and care as every other human being who walks this earth.
You are not an exception.
Not today, not ever.
