Trying to accept the skin I’m in. Any advice?
I’m at a healthy weight so I have no good excuse not to learn to accept my body. I want to be strong enough to live well when I’m older. And I’ve been 30 lbs lighter and still not been happy with how it looks. So losing weight will not fix my problem.
I feel like having EDS my skin looks different. I ask myself why does my stomach look so unsmooth and lumpy? I see women bigger than me and wish my skin looked like theirs so it’s not a size thing. Which also means it’s out of my hands. I can’t change my skin.
It also doesn’t help that it hurts all the time. My skin and joints that is. I hear people say “accept your body because it functions and takes care of you” and I don’t feel like mine does.
Does anyone have any advice on learning to accept your skin looking different than what you think others look like? Or what you wish it looked like?
Thanks in advance.
