What was your motivation for losing weight? I’m embarassed to admit, my reason was out of pure vanity. Yup, vanity is a killer. If it weren’t for the way my pants fit and the way I look in certain clothes. I know, I know, think about your health and the way you feel blah blah blah. Let’s be real here. Certain stylish clothes is tailored for skinny minnie’s only. No matter designers and stylists say, it’s true. And it sucks. Clothes should make you feel better, not worse. A skirt or a dress should make you glow, not tug at the h em because it doesn’t fit right.
I hate that I can be so vain. I used to think that it was just me being self confident, but that’s completely wrong. I’m so vain and obsessed with looking “normal” because I am not self confident at all. Isn’t that strange? It should be the opposite. You look good, you feel good, end of story. But for some reason, there is some kind of disconnect in my mind. If an outfit doesn’t fit me right, my whole mopd changes. God forbid my pants get a bit tighter. I become this bitch in heels.
I don’t take compliments easy either. I’ve learned to just smile and say thank you, but there used to be a time when I would turn bright red and run away.
I used to fool myself and think, oh yes this weight loss is great for my health, I’m doing it solely for my health. But I’m discovering that I might be a bit more vain taht I thought. Funny what we trick ourselves into believing…
