Aww Jess, thank you so much for this incredible comment. What a lovely and inspiring journey you&#039;ve had-- I am SO happy that you have reached a point of being able to love yourself and not beat yourself up over indulging every now and then. You&#039;re right, our worth is not measured by the number on the scale. It&#039;s measured by the life we live, the people we connect with and the awesome things that we do. Things we can only do when we aren&#039;t obsessing about weight and calories!! Lots of love. Xo]]></description>

					<description><![CDATA[Jordan: I&#039;m truly enjoying tbvchallenge!! I&#039;m reminded every single day that I can love myself with healthy foods, relaxing time, and many &quot;simple&quot; things. I&#039;ve struggled for maaaaany years with ana, and now I know that beating yourself over eating a piece of cake is not going to change anything. Our worth is not measured by calories in and out, our happiness isn&#039;t determined by the scale, however, many times it controls what we do and how we see ourselves, leading to disordered views. I know this is a long battle, and that many times I&#039;m likely to feel sad, and may even look at myself believing that I&#039;m not worth it, that I&#039;m fat or anything. However, I know that I need to gain control over my mind (easier said than done) and I need to stop them before they contorl me. Lately it&#039;s been very helpful to remember that I can&#039;t compare myself to others because this is my journey, but most important I&#039;ve stopped the relationship with the scale, and I&#039;m proud of that. Thanks for sharing and inspiring!]]></description>

					<description><![CDATA[Heather, thank you so much for the awesome comment! So thrilled to hear that Well+Good brought you to my blog... that makes me very happy. I just checked yours out too and I can&#039;t wait to poke around and read more. Wow, I&#039;m sorry to hear that you also still struggle with health/mind/body issues even though you have gone plant-based. What is with our weird sensitive systems?!?! We will work together to get through it... I know it!!

Thanks so much for the love.

					<description><![CDATA[In reply to &lt;a href=&quot;https://thebalancedblonde.com/2014/04/10/self-love-challenge-update/#comment-35744&quot;&gt;Liz M-B&lt;/a&gt;.

Liz, thank you SO much for sharing your story. I can relate on so many levels. One thing you need to know is that you are enough-- you are enough, enough, enough. I know it&#039;s terrifying to be so close to the end of law school and not have a job secured, but what you have to remember is how much potential, education and greatness you have under your belt. You WILL get an awesome job, and you will kick butt doing it. And at that point, you will very likely be able to let go of your controlling food habits... I know when things began to fall into place for me a bit about my future I let go of a lot of those habits. Now I&#039;m back in the &quot;unknown&quot; realm, and it&#039;s very scary, but I know it will get better. Thanks so, so much for sharing! You rock. Xo]]></description>

YAY! So happy to hear that the post resonated with you. It was really therapeutic to write, and made me really hopeful to reflect on Natasha&#039;s story and think about how much possibility there is out there for self-love. You are amazing too, my love and it means a lot to have someone who can relate about the life changes, even if most of them are good! That boat-rocking can be terrifying. But we&#039;ve got this :)]]></description>

I am so thrilled to hear that, missy!! I think we all went through that point in life where we weren&#039;t too in love with ourselves, and those of us who are lucky enough to get over the hump realize how much BETTER it is to love ourselves and let all of the negativity go. And you should love yourself-- you&#039;re freaking gorgeous inside and out!!]]></description>
