How I did it
How to learn to like myself
It took me
27 years
It made me
Satisfied

How I did it: I started doing things that make me happy. I exercise more, even if it's only going on a long walk. I don't compare myself to others - I am the unique combination of the genes and environmental circumstances that created me. I focus on people I love, and on my job, that I love. I don't let negative thoughts distract me, but I stop them as soon as they came to my mind. I actually listen when people tell me how important I am to them, and I… Read how I did it…

Now! 4 months ago

Today! Enough is enough! I want to have children. I don’t want to be overweight when I’m pregnant. It’s not a matter of being pretty, it’s health. It’s not clinging to food because of stress. It’s having a healthy attitude towards life. I want to be fit! I’m doing this, and I’m starting right now!

7. Appreciation 6 months ago

Being with people is good, because you can see yourself reflected in them. Being at home alone is also good, but one should be open to external stimuli. I am nurturing some young friendships, and it feels good! I don’t want to be so isolated anymore.

I invited friends for a barbecue. We had a nice time. And the most important thing: we might not be very close, but they all appeared, they all told me how much they enjoyed it. I see that I am esteemed by this group of people, and it feels very very good.

6. Taking care of myself 6 months ago

Well, that’s important. I only realize it now, when I started exercising a bit, taking care of my hair and generally trying to not look – and feel – so shabby. It’s not something you do for others, you do it for yourself. I still dont wear make-up, I still wear my old jeans and a t-shirt, but still, I feel so much better!
