Have you found yourself referring constantly to your thinner days when you get around people? I have. Remembering myself as a size 0 sends my willpower completely down the drain.
Last night I was surrounded by my costars on a current project- who have also become amazing friends. I kept bringing up my past weight in conversation and here's what they said to me:
"Don't worry about what was. You positively radiate right here and now. That's what you need to care about." - C.O.N.
"You are so beautiful right now. Reinforce that beauty - don't condemn it. You have to because no one else will." - D.W.
And I have come to the realization that I am my own worst enemy. So now when I feel bad, when I feel fat, when I feel self hate - I'm going to call out to others for reinforcement. There is no need to do this alone. I recommend the same for anyone else dealing with self sabotage.
