Hello Wonderful People!
I am getting deep today, under your skin, to get to the heart of your emotions, to release the beautiful person you are inside.
I know that I am not the typical person someone would see in the fashion magazines. However, I felt I don’t measure up because I am not a size double-zero. I canceled many of my magazine subscriptions because it was too much clutter and most of them looked the same and had identical ads. Yes, it use to intimidate me to see someone who is thin and tall and when I look in the mirror, I am somewhat tall with hips. Shakira says, “Hips don’t lie!” And my hips are staring right back at me. It seemed like a joke for me to be doing a fashion blog because who would take me seriously when it came to fashion.
Well we have to be comfortable in our own skin. Comparison is a deadly weapon that will do nothing but bring you and others around you down.
Body Image was a battle for me. Even though I worked out hard and ate healthy, I never was stick thin. Well, you know what! I finally had to finally realize that it is not about being stick then its about being healthy.
Should I loose 10, no 20, no 30 pounds? What’s good enough? It’s never good enough!
Have any of you felt like that?
Stop it! I immediately we have to cast those imaginations down and thank the Lord for who He is in me (in us) and what he has done for us.
I can only speak for myself. If I truly dictated my life on what other people thought I should do, I would not be where I am today.
I came across the Comparison Trap app on my phone. It’s was a jewel that I found.
I listened to the videos by Andy Stanley and saw a devotional was available by Sandra Stanley was available on Amazon.com for $12.52 and on Christianbooks.com for $10.99. There is also DVD study for women for $15.00. I purchased the devotional and its wealth of information for each of the 28 days.
