Introduction
So lately I've been really self conscious of my body. I think it all started to stem from a photographer calling me "full figured" a while back. now at the time I said thank you since they were complimenting me calling me a "beautiful, full-figured model" but the more it sank in, the more it didn't sit right with me. Maybe I've been looking at too many images of "perfect (probably photo shopped) women" or I'm just being too hard on myself but I've honestly felt like crap about myself since then. I've cut out soda for about 2 months, tried to get back into exercising/running, and tried to work on keeping my portions in check when I eat but I still FEEL fat. I feel like my work isn't doing anything and that I still look larger than I'm happy with. Perhaps I'm distorting my own image in the mirror but it's something I've been struggling with and not really sure how to talk about or who to talk about it with. When I voice my concerns I'm usually told to "shut up, you're skinny" which doesn't help much since clearly, that's not the way I'm seeing myself 😕 anyways sorry for the long rant but I was talking today with a friend who has similar issues with body image and neither of us really knew what to do.. Suggestion?
