A Surprisingly Sane Blog

I need a pick-me-up today, and I need your help.

See, on my “bad days”, I get really obsessive about hating specific things about myself, particularly my body. It’s those things that I can’t change that I suddenly can’t get out of my head. Something minor, like a simple zit, starts out as a tiny annoyance but ends up being the only thing I can see and I hate myself because of it. Logically, I know it’s stupid, but it doesn’t stop those obsessive thoughts. Such is the life of someone living with OCD. It sucks.

Sometimes, I can replace those negative thoughts with positive ones, but last night it got particularly bad again. I had a full-blown anxiety attack, started feeling paranoid, and got into a conversation with James that involved him making me promise I’m not going to give up on life.

So today, I’m trying to take a different approach, and this is where you can help. I want to know, what physical things do you like about your body and why? Do you have a soft, curvy figure that you love? Or do you have a nose that just seems to fit perfectly on your face? Is it the imperfections that make a particular part of you beautiful in your mind? Try to come up with at least two, and if you can keep going, you’re gonna rock my blog today!

Hearing others talk about things they love about themselves really helps put me in a more positive mental state.

Here’s mine (I know, I’m actually going to say I LIKE something about myself. Don’t die of shock, okay?):

I really love my legs- even my thighs- and I’m also damn proud of my breasts. Why? My dancer-legs are long and shapely, and I think they look really freaking sexy when topped off with a very short skirt and a pair of hooker-heels. And as for my breasts, they’re soft and full and still perky as hell even after nursing two babies. They also manage to fill out any shirt or dress I try on, and they’re big enough to show off just the right amount cleavage that I’m comfortable flaunting.

There, I did it. Okay girls (and guys… you can run, but you can’t hide… I know you’re reading this) Your turn!
