I have always been very thin and active. I never really cared about my appearance, because I did not think it was a bad thing to be chubby or thin. However, the obsession of people when they see me are always the same of my physical aspect referred to my thinness. Why are you so thin? Do you eat? Are you sick? An endless number of questions that I still answer. At that time of my adolescence I was worried about the fact that I could not change my appearance and my weight was a problem. Creating a sadness and trauma for a young girl who should be playing or dreaming. The critic of the people around me had a power over my self-esteem and my life. The magazines and advertisements about beauty were my biggest enemy. I thought in that time that the appearance was so important to have a succeed life that make my heart feel sadness.
But, everything changed when I realized that I did not have to change anything in my appearance because thank God I was healthy and happy. I realized that the only thing that was making me sad and disappointed of myself was the opinion of other people that were not my family and friends. So, why I need to paid attention to their critic? Those people that really don't know me, because if those people would've the time to get to know my soul then they will love me the way I have always been.
Happiness and acceptance of yourself is the most important thing. You should never let other peoples comments about your appearance change the way of your life and your self-esteem. We are perfect in God's eyes and we should not change anything if we are happy with ourselves. Our body is a temple and we need to take care of it. Being healthy and taking care of our physical body is very important because it make us feel confident and strong but is also same important to take care of our emotions and spirituality and be the person we always dream of. We all have the potential. When you admire and love yourself with your virtues and your faults, everyone learns to appreciate that of you. Today I do not fear to be who I am and to love myself the way I am.
