I am a horrible person, I say really mean things and I judge- all the time! I think fat and cellulite are disgusting and wrinkles show a persons age (not character). The interesting thing is that I only believe these things when it comes to myself. Every time I look in the mirror, I only see what is wrong with me. My face is wrinkled and falling, along with the rest of me. I am overweight and not good enough. When I look at a photo of myself I don't understand why anyone would ever say I was beautiful. When I go on TV for an interview for my job, I hate the sound of my voice, how fat I look, my flat hair, it goes on...and on...and on...
I know it's horrible and I would NEVER say these things to someone else! I would never even think them. I also understand that I have major body image issues. This weeks assignment took the longest of them all. I know this is an area I need to work on and I really dove into the journaling and the art in an effort to bring these thoughts to life through art. I spent hours on Pinterest and working on the assignments. I would love to find some confidence. The collage that shows what I don't like about myself and the labels I carry was easy! The part where I try to learn to embrace my weak side as well as my strong side was much harder.
I need to learn to love both of these sides and embrace them both equally. I tried really hard to show that in my other collage. This was the hardest one to wrap my head around and probably my favorite one so far. This will always be an issue for me but I will continue to do the work. I love the words "No Shame- No Blame". I should not be ashamed of either side of myself and I should stop blaming the weak side for all of my issues.
