Body Image and Positive Mentality

It is true we are our biggest enemy. Let me elaborate... I am happily married, stable job, decent health, etc. Almost a decade ago I did struggle heavily with mental issues due to unfortunate traumatic events that occurred back to back. However, that is all behind me now.

Ever since letting myself go physically a bit, I started developing an unstable relationship with how I view myself. My husband NEVER fails to try and snap me out of this feeling, but I noticed my brain stubbornly tries to override what my husband is saying. Don't get me wrong, his opinion is the only opinion that matters to me when it comes to my appearance, but the only thing I can think of when I hear him say these things is how biased his opinion might be; mainly because I think he'd try and say anything to make me feel better.

Regardless, I know I am probably painting myself in a very horrible way, but I regularly go to the gym, last time I had junk food was more than 3 months ago, and I have been clean for so long. I think the issue stems from me realising my marriage is somewhat a miracle. When I met my husband, I was nowhere near his type, so it falsely feels like I am walking on eggshells (and I emphasise on falsely because I am aware all of this is in my head lol).

In conclusion, I won't let this feeling take over my life, I think it is nice to reflect like this. I will continue pushing myself towards a healthier lifestyle (and you should do too).
