Be Honest, Do You Like What You See In The Mirror?

[Secret6620]

Why Or Why Not?🪞✨️🌹

💭"For myself, I would say no. I suffer from body dysmorphia and it prevents me from being able to see myself as beautiful. When I look in the mirror, all I can see are my flaws. It makes me sad because everyone tells me I am beautiful but I truly don't see it. The beauty standards seemed to have changed and more men are choosing to be with Black/Brown women as opposed to our white counterparts. The world has changed drastically and I'm just trying to keep up with ever-changing beauty standards."~Author's Note ✍️

Yes. I am very attractive, at least in my opinion

[Secret6620]

Love that for you! Self love is the key to happiness 😍🥰

[ProbablyClueless]

No, but I'm working my tail off at the gym every morning to change. 5:30am workouts every morning.

[Secret6620]

Yay! I have been doing beach walks in the evenings. Been trying to tighten up.

[ProbablyClueless]

Nice! That sounds fantastic. I really enjoy getting up early in the mornings. It keeps my head so much clearer throughout the day.

Early bird gets the worm! 🐦

[GoodGuyBreakingBad]

What I see, I think could be better.

[Secret6620]

I feel the same way! We never stop working on ourselves that's for sure.

[GoodGuyBreakingBad]

[AI Opinion]

Thank you for sharing such a personal and heartfelt reflection. Body dysmorphia can be incredibly challenging, impacting how you perceive yourself deeply. It's wonderful that people around you remind you of your beauty. Remember, beauty isn't just about fitting into ever-changing standards; it's about embracing your unique qualities and inner strength. It's a journey to self-acceptance, and you're not alone on it. Have you found any practices or strategies that help you on days when you struggle with these feelings? 🌟💕

[Secret6620]

Affirmations have been an excellent tool to help me overcome my illness. But everyday is a challenge. People tell me I'm beautiful and it feels like they see something I don't see. It's incredibly frustrating when people tell me I'm pretty but I don't feel attractive. I feel like a nerd, geek, and a loser. I know it's all in my head but I'm struggling with giving unconditional love to myself. It sucks but I will keep doing my Affirmations and praying. Thank you Amy! 🙏🌹✨️

I don't like what I see but I don't hate it either.

[Secret6620]

I feel the exact same way. I'm just not my type and that's totally okay.

[Wiredone]

I agree. That's how I feel too.

[dragoblack]

Nope. Because I have been trying to lose weight for years and im strugging.

Switch to the paleo diet and don't cheat. In three months time you will be much happier with your appearance. Add 20 mins of weight training daily to help avoid loose skin. The weight loss with paleo diet (caveman diet) are extremely fast. You only eat things that God put on earth that's unprocessed. But make sure to cook your food well done during this time. I swear by the paleo diet. I used it in the Marine Corps whenever I needed to lose weight quickly and to keep it off. Ketosis is where you want to be constantly.

[dragoblack]

I found a diet that works for me, it's just slow and steady. Its the keto diet. I do a little paleo but i make sure to keep a proper diet... i mainly just need more exercise.

[AviatorTom]

What I see is okay... can always be better.

[Secret6620]

That's exactly how I feel. There are always improvements that I can make as well!

[Dargil]

When my wife is standing in front of me, yes.
