🧠 What Are Your Intrusive Thoughts Trying to Convince You of Today??

[lil_jenni]

To set up the context of this comment, I gave birth to twins back in August. I am currently only about 12~15 pounds heavier than I was when I got pregnant, which I think is a fucking fantastic accomplishment. Plus, Hubby clearly likes me at this weight. But for some reason, intrusive thoughts (in my mother's voice ) keep telling me I still have weight to lose.

Nope. No you don't.

Nope. No you don't.

That's what Hubby says. He said it after my first pregnancy too, but I worked my ass off to get down to my pre-pregnancy weight (not literally... I spend a fair amount of time on the elliptical to make sure I don't work my actual ass off...) because I couldn't get those thoughts out of my head.

Being healthy is one thing. But there are quite a few women that I find attractive who are big and beautiful. Just know that you don't need to be at a lesser weight unless it's for your health.

One step forward. Knocked two steps back

My intrusive thoughts are picking apart a photo of myself that I posted.

It’s so frustrating how I can think I like something and then I notice one element that I don’t like and my brain won’t give it up.

Too much, too soon.

I have seen pictures of you and you're a very attractive young lady, sometimes we are our own worst enemy. You judge yourself too harsh, it's OK to not be perfect. Unfortunately nothing I say will help, it has to come from you. Hope you stop beating yourself up.

This is almost always the case for me

It’s true. I appreciate the kind words, but ultimately I need to be able to have that kindness for myself. I’m trying. Failing, but trying. Thank you

I do the exact same thing with pictures I just send to one person. Like the smallest thing can make me grumpy. Even though, I'm definitely the only person that notices. And I don't even do the beautiful artistic stuff that some of yall do.

Literally saw this this morning. Seems likes it’s worth a shot.

Oddly enough, thighs were the exact thing I was picking apart.

I will give this a try next time

It’s so weird how people can be insecure about a thing that I personally find heavenly. Living in rather than living between is different I suppose.

Telling me to put this kid in his place… fighting the urge because I need my job lol

 

[lilmissdarling]

Being the "fall back".

 

[AtramentousRex]

They have convinced me that the opinions of other people, especially on the internet, matter. They tried to get me to think I had to change because I wasn't good enough as I am, when the truth is they were the problem all along. I truly don't care what anyone thinks. I'm okay with me.

 

[Chillygirl]

Mine are telling me to say what I really think, just be a bitch and be honest.

That by expressing my needs I am being a bother

I understand those thoughts.

Those not enough feelings have been back the past week or so…

Even if you just write it out or make a recording of it.

There was a time someone had me practicing how to say "fuck you" (over the phone) to my ex without the fear in my voice. It really helped to get it out!

A lot of people feel that way, but I think it goes real deep for a little. We have to learn to trust him when he says we aren't a bother. And, if he's told you to tell him when you have a need, and you don't, you've not obeyed! Yikes! This is coming to my mind as I write this.

I'm glad you were able to get to that point without fear.

One thing about me, I've never had that kind of fear, I've nearly gotten myself punched for my fearlessness with certain people

It’s really me just being fed up with people. I find I’m a little too honest and just become mean. I don’t want to be that person.
