She actually believes she's fat, even though she really isn't.
Her heart is SO ugly. You should hear some of the things she thinks sometimes.
She is the most selfish person I know.
She is never doing or being enough.
She can't love people well. Especially a man.
She can't trust people. She has been scarred way too much.
She is a gossip.
Most of the things she does is so others will like her.
The way she talks is offensive most of the time.
She is a sorry excuse for a Christian.
She will go home and people will not see ANY change in her.
She will never be free from her past.
She hates herself as much as I hate her.
She is… me.
How many of you struggle with hating yourself or destructive self talk? Maybe some of the things I listed hit home. Maybe you have your own that you rehearse. Either way it's NOT true. Sure, no one is perfect and we all have things we can work on, but God never intended for us to hate ourselves for our flaws. He loves us despite them!
I still struggle with some of the things on that list. Some of those thoughts are so easy for me to fall into, but I have chosen to battle against them.
For me, the hardest thing to do is to be kind and give grace to myself. I grew up playing sports, so a "no excuses" attitude became a part of my norm. But I REFUSE to stay in this cycle. I REFUSE to be a part of my own self-destruction. From now on I CHOOSE to focus on who Christ is and what He has done for me. Will you join me?
