So I came across the photo on the left today. I have been really beating myself up about not being at my pre baby weight again. My baby will be two in spring and for some crazy reason I have been self hating. In a very toxic way about not loosing the last 20 pounds (Have lost 55 pounds so far since baby). And had this image in my mind about how different I use to look while living in Vancouver with a much more active liftstyle. I stopped today to take this photo to see how different I see myself from now to then. Twenty pounds heavier (the right). I also found my measurements from then on a document I needed (from a dress fitting) and I am the exact same now as I was then. Why does my mind play such tricks... What you can’t see in the photo on the right is a message I wrote to myself on my mirror ❤️Be Kind To Yourself❤️ I am on the path to more kindness to my self. I pride myself on always practicing kindness to others all the time, yet if only I did the same in my daily self care routine. The last couple months have been a turning point and I have been working hard to do exactly that #moreselfcare #moreselflove💕 #mymeasurementsdontdeterminemyselfworth
