Description
For the longest time, I've been so insecure and self-conscious about my self image, the way I look. Everything about me.But today marks the day that I've decided that I should love all of me.
Every scar.
Every freckle.
Every stretch mark.
Every dis-colourment
Everything down to the last cell in my body.
I'm not perfect, as anyone can see. The thing I've always been the most self-conscious about was my weight and my stretch marks. I've had them since I was nine years old (That's a nice seven years.) and I had always thought that they made me ugly, fat, and hideous. (I am indeed chubby, but that's just more to love.)
They're on my stomach, upper arms, legs, thighs, boobs. Almost everywhere. But I now think of them as just an extension of myself, something that shows that I'm just as human as every other human being in the world. No more, no less.
There's still a long way for me to go to fully love every single bit of me.
But this is a big leap for what has yet to come.
please don't laugh at me either, this is really emotional for me ;a;

Wow...your comment in there really made me happy. I've been overweight since as long as I can remember, and I've always hated myself for it. I still try to lose all this weight, but it's so hard and sometimes I just wonder what the use is.
So, thank you, for starting to love yourself. You are beautiful, and the fact that you have decided to put this on dA makes you very courageous.

and i haven't been doing anything, really. just eating less of things, and eating more fruits and vegies C:

Wow. o_o That's a lot of weight for such little time. I've been trying to focus on losing weight this summer, but I have some sort of imbalance in me that makes it extremely hard to lose weight. I have no idea what it is yet which is very irritating.
I've been drinking a shit load of water, and I found that it actually really does help. o u o

It really does, omg.
Try eating less and at a slower pace, and walk around a little bit everyday C:
And being outside helps too. But do that in the early morning or late afternoon where it's cooler C:

Yeah, I've been trying to exercise for at least half an hour each day. I go to a gym, too. But I've been sleeping really crappily lately, so it's been pretty hard to focus on exercising. D:

Actually, if you want to lose weight, it's best to exercise at least 45 minutes a day instead of the traditional thirty. With the half hour, you're only keeping everything the same, where as if you go for the extra fifteen minutes, you actually burn off more helping you lose weight.
And as for the sleeping thing, I know what you mean ._. I've been doing it too for the past three weeks >_> Thank God school starts for me in two weeks, though. I'm thankful for that.

This is a very strong and admirable step you have taken in your life. If people can't accept you for how you look, then they are truly not a friend or someone you can be with. The people who can get past anything you throw at them, they are the ones that are truly worth your time, effort, and love. Remember who you are and love yourself for being you, I think you can do it. This is a sign of courage and an inspiration to others.

I congratulate you on this huge step in your life.
Know that I support you and I am proud that you have decided to embrace yourself.
It truly shows how strong you are as you continue this hard journey.
I'm also slightly overweight as well when I look in the mirror I always give myself a look of disgust.
I'm about 190 something pounds (I haven't checked lately) about 5 foot 3 inches so I'm a bit overweight
I think your curves are beautiful even with the stretchmarks which gives you defined realistic beauty.
You've inspired me to start this journey as well to love myself and I thank you for giving me that push.
I hope we can become friends and help each other with this struggle. Good luck and I think you look gorgeous.

I like soft tummies. ^_^ They give better hugs. That's why I love my belly.
