Old Posts Revisited

I don’t think I’ve ever reposted one of my older/past posts on this blog.  I’d rather just not write then send people back to old content.  However, I think these two posts should be shared again. 

I had a conversation with C-Murder the other day about how uncomfortable some people’s discomfort with their own bodies makes me.  I realize, recognize and understand that we all have things we need to work on.  However, at a certain point, when a person constantly puts themselves down it makes me really, really uncomfortable.  Like really uncomfortable.  I hate when someone is always saying “I’m fat” or “I’m ugly” or whatever other thing it is that they don’t like about themselves.  If you’ve ever been around me when this has happened, you’ll notice that I usually just walk away from the conversation.  It’s rude, I know; but, I’d rather be rude then listen to someone berate and belittle themselves. 

Lately, it seems that I’m noticing this more and more from some around me.  And I just thought instead of re-ranting, I’d just direct everyone to posts I’ve written about in the past.

In My Skin discusses the exact situation I’ve mentioned above.  I touch a bit on how weird this scenario makes me feel.  And why, at a certain point, we have to learn to make ourselves feel better without depending on someone else to do it.

Loving On Myself is a promise to myself to encourage myself, take care of myself and remind myself daily how freakin’ awesome I really am.  I hope that a few people read this post and resolve to do the same.
