[quote=Anonymous]A lot of women have their worth wrapped up in beauty or size. “I AM 120 lbs. I AM pretty.” The thing is, weight and looks are temporary things that can change. When you build your identity around those things and then they change you’re left wondering who you are. You have to build worth and identity OUTSIDE of those things because frankly, all of us will see them go. All of us will age, become less beautiful, see our bodies shift and change and weight come on and dat move to where it never lived before. And when you don’t know who you are if you’re not “the woman who weighs 120” that will f- with you. Women who don’t care about the natural process of aging and gaining some weight have figured out their identity and worth separate from ephemeral things like weight and beauty. Doesn’t mean they might not like to be a certain weight or look a certain way, but they don’t fundamentally think less of themselves if they don’t. [/quote]
