Self Image
Quote From: acts431Hello everyone!! I'm new to the group and look forward to getting to you you all.
I'm in the same boat. Some days I have confidence and other days I don't. Over the past few years I've gained about 42 pounds due to a medical condition. I think that has a lot to do with my self image. I was always thin and now I'm not. I keep hearing Dr. Phil say that self image and body image aren't the same thing. I hear it in my mind. But tell it to my heart. I didn't realize until recently how much my body image meant to me. In a way it's postive because it's causing meto see myself in a new light. I realize I'm the same personI always was. But my body is different. It doesn't seem like my body. It's an adjustment. Is anyone else in a similar situation? That is so great that you are getting where you can seperate the two things and not let them keep getting together and messing with your head LOL!!! that's just what happens they just must get together and have a ball trying to mess it all up for us and how we see ourselves hehe i am trying to think of it antimated LOL!! I don't know why i do that sometimes but i do LOL!!! No matter what i feel like it just happens and then if i am really sad it makes me smile cause i get kind of tickled with myself......... i don't like what i see when i look at me but well i can't seem to really like me the other way either...........
