My mom always called me fat and stuff growing up and influenced everyone else in the household to do the same thing so it's been hard appreciating a body you've been told isn't good enough all your life, but after getting into college and living around other people who weren't as toxic I've come to understand that my mom and others had their own insecurities that they passed on to me because they didn't have the motivation to change themselves, or were too close minded and lived off of criticizing others. 

 

Well I'm still young and I can still change the way I look at myself, and I suggest that if you're going through the same thing, start loving yourself too before the impression is too deep in your mind.
