As I honestly look at my motivation towards getting healthier I cant deny all the unhealthy thoughts and mindsets that infiltrate my most earnest attempts at worshipping the Lord with my body. I have been wrestling with feelings inadequacy and body image my whole life. Thinking of the image of my "goal body" in my mind and if Im being honest I have a hard time separating the medias image of beauty from what I know God has planned for me. I found a song with these lyrics and it touches me so deeply that I almost cried when I heard it. I am certain I am not alone in this feeling.
More beautiful you by Johnny Diaz.
And I hope this video by Dove called Evolution might help to adjust the lies you have held as a standard of beauty for so long. Bye bye magazine clippings on the fridge. Im replacing you with Proverbs 31!
