THE POST I'VE BEEN AVOIDING.
really battling with the way i look right now.

i know it could be worse in so many different ways and that i'm truly blessed with all that i have, but it's just so hard to not be frustrated when nothing in my closet fits but a few pieces of clothing. and what does fit...doesn't fit like it should. if you've noticed that the jeans i'm wearing look familiar, it's because they are. i wear them every day. they're all that fit.

this year has been oh-so-great but oh-so-hard. both combined have not been all that great to my body or my self image.

and i do know, there are more important things in life. and my husband still thinks i'm beautiful.

i'm just a girl living in a world that is telling me anything bigger than a size two can't be perfect...can't be good enough. paranoid and afraid to be treated any less than the version of me that once fit into a size zero and complained that old navy's smallest was too big.

not looking for feedback...just being honest.

You know... I never feel very pretty in the winter. And I've gained weight as well.

I've heard, though, that one reason a person gains weight is because he or she is happy in love. You surely seem to be that!

I don't care what anyone says about being skinny and gaining weight--it IS traumatic. Even if you're doubling in size from a 2 to a 4, it's still hard.

Just wanting you to know that I feel ya.

It makes me sad when I hear girls feeling this way. I've been skinny my whole life and I hate it. It's a pain to find things that fit my flat chest and boyish figure. I look like I'm swimming in everything. My body is sick right now and I can't gain weight for the life of me. Being a size two SUCKS.

I know this is something you've been dealing with for a long time and I totally think it's understandable given the standards put before us in our society (even my youngest sister, who's stick thin, thinks she's overweight -- there's something wrong there). But I also feel like that's all-the-more reason for you to embrace yourself. Having a supportive husband, friends and family helps, but at the end of the day it comes down to what's in your head. You have to find the healthiest way to feel comfortable in your own skin.

And what's wrong with wearing the same pair of pants day after day? :)
