<\/p>\n
Does this skirt make me look fat?<\/p>\n
I\u2019m a pizza face.<\/p>\n
Why did I do that? I\u2019m so stupid.<\/p>\n
Yeah. I\u2019ve said those things about myself too. And it\u2019s not pretty. Why do we feel compelled to say such nasty things about ourselves? It only reinforces our toxic body image. If someone else were saying those things to himself or herself, what would we say? That\u2019s right. We\u2019d say, \u201cCut it out!\u201d<\/p>\n
So why do we still insist on saying these toxic things\u00a0to ourselves? I\u2019m not a psychologist, but I feel like this self-deprecation is a habit. A habit we\u2019ve learned based on how the toxic people in our lives treat us. And I call it a habit because, even long after we kick the toxic people to the curb, we\u2019re still saying hurtful and demeaning things to ourselves that only continue to reinforce our\u00a0toxic body image.<\/p>\n
How do we fix this self-deprecation habit that is slowly \u2013 and not so silently \u2013 stealing our energy, confidence, and self-esteem?<\/p>\n
<\/p>\n
We have to practice looking in the mirror and, instead of focusing on the bad, see all the good things we have to offer. The bad news is that this isn\u2019t something that happens overnight. You wouldn\u2019t ask someone to lose 25 pounds in a day or a week, right? Well, becoming a recovering self-deprecator is just as challenging.<\/p>\n
The good news is that you can do it \u2013 if you know how to change the lens on how you look at your life, your body, and your soul.<\/p>\n
I\u2019m actually in the process of doing it now. Come along and I\u2019ll show you what has worked for me so far\u2026<\/p>\n
\u00a0<\/p>\n
#1 \u2013 Celebrate Small Wins<\/strong><\/h2>\nDo you want to lose weight and get in shape? Yeah. Me too. My advice: Don\u2019t try to lose it all at once by starving yourself or by exercising until you drop. Start small by cutting sugary drinks from your diet or by walking around the block to get some exercise.<\/p>\n
Once you\u2019ve mastered those, give yourself a pat on the back and be proud of what you\u2019ve accomplished. Make sure to celebrate these types of small wins that\u2019ll eventually get you to the finish line.<\/p>\n
At that point take the next step and treat yourself to new exercise clothes, seek out the help of a qualified personal trainer, or make an appointment with a nutritionist to review your eating habits.<\/p>\n
Keep moving forward.<\/p>\n
\u00a0<\/p>\n
#2 \u2013 Accept & Embrace What You Can\u2019t Change<\/strong><\/h2>\nIf you don\u2019t like your hair color you can dye it, but what about those things that are impossible or nearly impossible to change?<\/p>\n
Your only option is to start loving those things that make you unique and special. Have oily skin? That\u2019s perfect because the extra oil in your skin will keep you looking younger longer. Too short? Good! You don\u2019t have to lean over the sink and hurt your back to wash your hands.<\/p>\n
There\u2019s a positive hidden in every \u201cnegative.\u201d<\/p>\n
\u00a0<\/p>\n
#3 \u2013 Cut The Toxic People From Your Life<\/strong><\/h2>\nAre the toxic people in your life making your miserable? Speak up and tell them how they make you feel. If they don\u2019t listen, start the process of removing them from your life now.<\/p>\n
And I don\u2019t just mean the people close to you. If you follow a celebrity who is making you feel bad for something, I say kick them to the curb too. You may also want to stop reading those style magazines. Those models and their perfect bodies and faces make me a little self-conscious too.<\/p>\n
\u00a0<\/p>\n
#4 \u2013 Surround Yourself With People Who Lift You Up<\/strong><\/h2>\nDo you have at least one person around you who always has something nice to say? Or, when you\u2019re feeling blue, always finds a way to cheer you up, at least temporarily.<\/p>\n
Find and hang out with more of those people. Just like misery loves company. Excitement, energy, and happiness are contagious.<\/p>\n
\u00a0<\/p>\n
#5 \u2013 Treat Yourself Well<\/strong><\/h2>\nLife is difficult. Don\u2019t make it harder on yourself for no reason.<\/p>\n
Treat yourself to a massage. Go shopping for something you\u2019ve wanted, but haven\u2019t splurged on yet. Make love to the significant other in your life. No significant other? That doesn\u2019t matter. You can still have sex with the most awesome person in the world \u2013 yourself!<\/p>\n
Don\u2019t feel guilty when you feel good. Enjoy it!<\/p>\n
\u00a0<\/p>\n
#6 \u2013 It\u2019s Not The End Of The World To Fail<\/strong><\/h2>\nSink or swim? While we\u2019d all rather swim than sink, sometimes you can\u2019t help it \u2013 especially if you\u2019re doing something for the very first time.<\/p>\n
Mistakes are great because we learn a lot from them. And remember that you\u2019re not a failure just because something didn\u2019t work out as you had originally planned. If it\u2019s something you want to do, go out there and try again. Don\u2019t give up just because something didn\u2019t work out the first time.<\/p>\n
\u00a0<\/p>\n
#7 \u2013 Learn To Forgive Others And Yourself<\/strong><\/h2>\nYou\u2019re not perfect. Neither am I. How do we make it through the day? We practice patience and understanding \u2013 not just for other people, but for ourselves too.<\/p>\n
We have a tendency to forgive other people more readily for bigger things than we forgive ourselves for even the tiniest of things, like cheating on a diet. Why is that? Why can\u2019t we forgive ourselves as easily as we forgive others? I guess we\u2019re just harder on ourselves because we have to live with the disappointment constantly, but I don\u2019t think that\u2019s fair.<\/p>\n
Stop the toxic body image self-deprecation people! Feel the emotions, learn from your mistakes, make amends (if possible), forgive yourself, and move on. There\u2019s absolutely nothing to gain from constantly punishing yourself.<\/p>\n
\u00a0<\/p>\n
Whew! I know those are a lot of things to do, right? I hear you and that\u2019s why you should pick one of them to practice. Once you\u2019ve gotten one down, pick another one.<\/p>\n
The gist of everything in this article is that you have to be nice to yourself. That may feel weird at first or seem a bit selfish, but how much time to do you really spend making yourself feel special? And honestly, the only way you\u2019re ever going to really make anyone else feel good about themselves is to truly feel good about yourself too.<\/p>\n
Come on. If you\u2019re reading this article, I know you\u2019re a smart cookie. You\u2019re a beautiful person with a lot to offer. You have one life to live so make it a great one.<\/p>\n

#3 \u2013 Cut The Toxic People From Your Life<\/strong><\/h2>\nAre the toxic people in your life making your miserable? Speak up and tell them how they make you feel. If they don\u2019t listen, start the process of removing them from your life now.<\/p>\n
And I don\u2019t just mean the people close to you. If you follow a celebrity who is making you feel bad for something, I say kick them to the curb too. You may also want to stop reading those style magazines. Those models and their perfect bodies and faces make me a little self-conscious too.<\/p>\n
\u00a0<\/p>\n
#4 \u2013 Surround Yourself With People Who Lift You Up<\/strong><\/h2>\nDo you have at least one person around you who always has something nice to say? Or, when you\u2019re feeling blue, always finds a way to cheer you up, at least temporarily.<\/p>\n
Find and hang out with more of those people. Just like misery loves company. Excitement, energy, and happiness are contagious.<\/p>\n
\u00a0<\/p>\n
#5 \u2013 Treat Yourself Well<\/strong><\/h2>\nLife is difficult. Don\u2019t make it harder on yourself for no reason.<\/p>\n
Treat yourself to a massage. Go shopping for something you\u2019ve wanted, but haven\u2019t splurged on yet. Make love to the significant other in your life. No significant other? That doesn\u2019t matter. You can still have sex with the most awesome person in the world \u2013 yourself!<\/p>\n
Don\u2019t feel guilty when you feel good. Enjoy it!<\/p>\n
\u00a0<\/p>\n
#6 \u2013 It\u2019s Not The End Of The World To Fail<\/strong><\/h2>\nSink or swim? While we\u2019d all rather swim than sink, sometimes you can\u2019t help it \u2013 especially if you\u2019re doing something for the very first time.<\/p>\n
Mistakes are great because we learn a lot from them. And remember that you\u2019re not a failure just because something didn\u2019t work out as you had originally planned. If it\u2019s something you want to do, go out there and try again. Don\u2019t give up just because something didn\u2019t work out the first time.<\/p>\n
\u00a0<\/p>\n
#7 \u2013 Learn To Forgive Others And Yourself<\/strong><\/h2>\nYou\u2019re not perfect. Neither am I. How do we make it through the day? We practice patience and understanding \u2013 not just for other people, but for ourselves too.<\/p>\n
We have a tendency to forgive other people more readily for bigger things than we forgive ourselves for even the tiniest of things, like cheating on a diet. Why is that? Why can\u2019t we forgive ourselves as easily as we forgive others? I guess we\u2019re just harder on ourselves because we have to live with the disappointment constantly, but I don\u2019t think that\u2019s fair.<\/p>\n
Stop the toxic body image self-deprecation people! Feel the emotions, learn from your mistakes, make amends (if possible), forgive yourself, and move on. There\u2019s absolutely nothing to gain from constantly punishing yourself.<\/p>\n
\u00a0<\/p>\n
Whew! I know those are a lot of things to do, right? I hear you and that\u2019s why you should pick one of them to practice. Once you\u2019ve gotten one down, pick another one.<\/p>\n
The gist of everything in this article is that you have to be nice to yourself. That may feel weird at first or seem a bit selfish, but how much time to do you really spend making yourself feel special? And honestly, the only way you\u2019re ever going to really make anyone else feel good about themselves is to truly feel good about yourself too.<\/p>\n
Come on. If you\u2019re reading this article, I know you\u2019re a smart cookie. You\u2019re a beautiful person with a lot to offer. You have one life to live so make it a great one.<\/p>\n

Sink or swim? While we\u2019d all rather swim than sink, sometimes you can\u2019t help it \u2013 especially if you\u2019re doing something for the very first time.<\/p>\n
Mistakes are great because we learn a lot from them. And remember that you\u2019re not a failure just because something didn\u2019t work out as you had originally planned. If it\u2019s something you want to do, go out there and try again. Don\u2019t give up just because something didn\u2019t work out the first time.<\/p>\n
\u00a0<\/p>\n
#7 \u2013 Learn To Forgive Others And Yourself<\/strong><\/h2>\nYou\u2019re not perfect. Neither am I. How do we make it through the day? We practice patience and understanding \u2013 not just for other people, but for ourselves too.<\/p>\n
We have a tendency to forgive other people more readily for bigger things than we forgive ourselves for even the tiniest of things, like cheating on a diet. Why is that? Why can\u2019t we forgive ourselves as easily as we forgive others? I guess we\u2019re just harder on ourselves because we have to live with the disappointment constantly, but I don\u2019t think that\u2019s fair.<\/p>\n
Stop the toxic body image self-deprecation people! Feel the emotions, learn from your mistakes, make amends (if possible), forgive yourself, and move on. There\u2019s absolutely nothing to gain from constantly punishing yourself.<\/p>\n
\u00a0<\/p>\n
Whew! I know those are a lot of things to do, right? I hear you and that\u2019s why you should pick one of them to practice. Once you\u2019ve gotten one down, pick another one.<\/p>\n
The gist of everything in this article is that you have to be nice to yourself. That may feel weird at first or seem a bit selfish, but how much time to do you really spend making yourself feel special? And honestly, the only way you\u2019re ever going to really make anyone else feel good about themselves is to truly feel good about yourself too.<\/p>\n
Come on. If you\u2019re reading this article, I know you\u2019re a smart cookie. You\u2019re a beautiful person with a lot to offer. You have one life to live so make it a great one.<\/p>\n
