30 Days Of Weight Loss Challenge: Day 29

Day 29: Your definition of beauty.

Nothing you can force or buy. Nothing you acquire with a certain number on the scale or certain size clothing.

Beauty is something you have to tell yourself you have, have to KNOW you have that. Someone can sit there and say “you’re so beautiful” until they’re choking on the words, and while it’s nice to hear, if you don’t feel it yourself, it’s just false niceties.

Losing weight and/or getting fit helps with your confidence, there is absolutely no question about the swagger-improvement factor there. However, depending on it for self-love, beauty and even self-worth? That’s a dangerous, unhealthy path with more deep rooted problems than just some jiggle.

Beauty comes from within; it’s confidence, it’s security, it’s loving yourself. Sure, you can hit your goal weight and have the body of your dreams, but if you self-loathe, there is nothing beautiful about that.
