BODY POSITIVITY

Heya People!!

Today's topic is, as you have read- "Body Positivity". Like most of the topics of my blog, this one is also kinda close to my heart. I am someone who have been insecure about the way I look for the most of the time. My initial insecurity was my body weight. The reasons for me being underweight were many. I had this thought in my mind that if I will eat than I will get fat. And when I got to know that this is not the case, it was too late. My body no longer accepted the quantum of food I should be eating. Moreover, in my growing years I was mostly ill, the reason being I was not eating healthy and enough. This thing also led to my second insecurity that was my height. I am 5'1" which is an average height of an Indian girl. But most of my teenage years I was insecure that I didn't look of the age I was. I was underweight and short! my worst two nightmares combined. 

Now you must be wondering Vartika enough of the plot building. Tell us what you did to get better. How are you so confident now? 

Honestly I started the wrong way but it worked right for me. I started pretending. Yes, I started pretending that none of this matters. I will eat as much as I feel like and wear whatever I want without thinking that this might not look good on my body. For the starting period I was lying to myself but it somehow worked for me. I started eating without worrying. I started enjoying the process of eating. I indulged myself into self care. I shifted my focus from seeing myself from others perspective to the perspective of 12year old Vartika. That little girl is proud of me. I know what she is struggling from but darling sun's gonna shine bright. All you need is a little effort and desire. 

Love love,

Vartika.
