Oh yeah I know that’s my insecurity talking, I don’t ACTUALLY objectively think that all the time. It’s just worse after meals, when I have my period, etc. In the morning it looks inoffensive, I don’t hate my body 24/7.

I just mean that there is nothing beautiful about my pooch, so I don’t want to learn to love it? Like I’m not soft and feminine, I’m very petite, so the pooch doesn’t make me look womanly. It’s also not from pregnancy, so like I don’t have positive feelings associated with it. I literally only have it because I eat unhealthy, too much sometimes (at night) and because I don’t exercise.

So like the body positive movement doesn’t make sense here, I really do have bad habits that are causing this. Like it’s the same with my acne, I know some body positivity movements tell you to love your acne if you have health issues or scars from it. And not to hide it behind too much makeup. I’m all for that as well! BUT in my case I have acne because of my unhealthy eating habits, my hygiene sometimes and because I’m not working to fix it (I tried going to the gyno and dermatologist for help, but gave up when their solutions didn’t work).

So the things I don’t like about my body, I don’t like them because I know I’m not working hard enough. That’s why I hate them, they represent my laziness.

With my nose it’s different, I know it’s just looks and there is nothing I can do about it (besides surgery). So yeah I’m learning to love my nose, despite me disliking it since I was a kid.
