I never look in the mirror
I never do my hair
Or makeup
I never get dressed up
I don’t like what is in the reflection
I judge every piece of me
How much I’ve changed
Only for the worst
I see oh so many flaws
I can’t find anything I like about myself anymore
Oh, so many flaws
Stretch marks cover most of my body
From breasts to calves
From hip to hip
I can’t seem to find any beauty in me
I question was there ever
I once thought there was a little
That all has faded now
I wish I could find happiness within this body
This body that birthed 2 children
This body that has been beaten and broken
This body that has been cut so many times
This body that has been used
This body that fights this illness inside of me with all it has everyday
This body I hate

I have some trouble with body image too. When I was younger it wasn’t too bad, but since the bells palsy that paralyzed the right side of my face, and taking the medicine that I need to stay sane makes me gain weight. Over the many years I have become quite heavy and in sad shape. My husband says that these things don’t matter to him, but I do struggle with liking myself. Oh, well, enough of that! Because of the palsy only the left side of my face smiles, and it looks like I am sneering at people! I have lots of fun watching peoples reactions! Hahah! I think that part of what I like about our place is that I don’t have any of these problems there. I feel from you such an unconditional type of friendship there. We can say and do anything and it doesn’t matter. Good luck next week about your new job. Have you ever worked at a warehouse before? Are you doing OK? Anything else you would like to share? Love you!
I didn’t know your right side of your face was paralyzed. Haha I could imagine you getting a laugh from there reactions. I feel the same about our friendship. I’ve only worked warehouse lol mostly at Amazon too. I’m trying to find a different amazon location to go to I don’t want the one I’m currently hired at.
Again, good luck at your job. Hope you can keep your temper! Haha. Let me know how it goes. Love you!
