Stop being so critical of myself

Sometimes I wish I could be my own best friend instead of my own worst enemy.

I am TRULY my own worst enemy. Nobody knows how to really hurt me, but me. And I cut deep!!

This is still very hard – I have good days, but most of the time I’m making comments about my “fat ass” or “fat stomach” or any other physical thing. I really need to stop – I have a beautiful daughter and a wonderful husband, so who cares what I look like, as long as I love those around me, right?

I was so good until we went clothes shopping yesterday – then the “fat girl” comments came out. My husband loves my body, why can’t I? My body gave me a baby – it’s going to be out of shape for a while – I need to celebrate what my body CAN do and not judge it for what it CAN’T

I want to stop doing this, but I have a hard time with it – I want to be nicer to myself, but after so many years of being self-defeatist, it’s hard to do -
