body image navel gazing, cw weight stuff
I was looking in the mirror after showering today and ADMIRING the small tummy I am now having. Thing is earlier in the week, I was pulling up my shirt and going 'uh oh, did my midsection gain too much weight?' No, you fucking rube, you goddamn shit idiot. My midsection actually looks great, the lil tummy rounds me out better than before, when I had a washboard-flat midriff I looked uncomfortably skinny. It's these lapses in judgement & perception that make me worry I'd be susceptible to an eating disorder... not because I do not adore my body, but because my brain tries to bully me about it anyway.
It's useful to have a partner around, you can trust their perception of you and lean on them for a second opinion when your brain is being silly. I recommend it tbh.
