DEDICATED TO ANYONE STRUGGLING WITH SELF WORTH OR SELF LOVE .. !!!
After reading the replies to _____ post . I am compelled to write .
Being Obese for 15 odd years, I sought from my father .. and husbands the love I thought I should have .. the ability for them to approve of me .. to love me .. Well it never happend .
One day while I was still loosing my weight .. feeling OH so dang good . I looked into the mirror .. and just started Balling .. it hit me . I did not need anyone to affirm to me their approval .. their love . It was up to me to love me . And If I did not love me , how on Earth was I ever going to love completly back .. ???
That was also the day that I thanked ME .. for having WLS .. I even high fived the mirror .
From that day forward , I have woke up , gone to the bathroom.. looked into the mirror and thanked ME .. and I say . .Hey You .. I love you ..
I have always carried Professional jobs where I had to deal with people . And I managed as an Obese person .. but after that day . My self esteem went through the roof . I began commanding rooms . I began showing in my personality the love I have for me .. Not conceit mind you .. but it showed in how I dressed , how I handled people .. with care and concern .
I went from getting the job done to GETTING THE JOB DONE !!
So I say this morning .. have you really loved yourself ? In spite of all that has gone on in your life . Have you forgiven those that may have hurt you . as that was a start for me too ? Have you given yourself a HIGH FIVE ?.. for getting it done .. You .. if you have survived WLS .. if you have made the decision to have WLS . need to be commended . But do not wait for others to do it for you . Stand up each day .. and tell yourself how you love YOU .. You made it this far .. what is stopping you from reallying being the best you can absolutley be ?
Sometimes recognizing our own self worth , jump starts so much .
Loving YOU .. can feel Oh so wonderful ! Be loud and proud of who you are .. and what you have accomplished .!!
Ok BIG GROUP HUG NOW !!
Much love and respect to all ..

That's a really nice post, Nat. I agree completely...we have to feel good about ourselves....period! When we do, it reflects on so many other things in our lives.
Thanks for sharing that.

Big Hug,Nat! Great post. You said everything that I thought about when I read that 'other' post and couldn't find the right words. So like so many times, I said nothing. But your words are so touching, they reach out to most of us who sometimes cannot hug ourselves or find ourselves needing someone elses love so badly that we forget who we really are and that it is our own inner strength that really will see us through adversity. So high five to you too and prayers out to all the others who are struggling.
