I love my job in that it supports me while I write and create and that working with kids is super rewarding and I’m genuinely grateful to have it.
But GOD my body dysmorphia/negative self image is NOT helped in that the clothing nannying requires means I look like a sloppy dog’s dinner on a good day. I know it’s part of child care but dammit I hate catching a glimpse of my reflection and hating how I look, from the shape of my body to what I have to wear. It blows.
#summer is such a hard time for me#and right now my body dysmorphia is just SKYROCKETING#there’s only a few about my appearance that I am genuinely NOT ashamed about#and kids are great in that they don’t give a shit#but damn I do#I hate looking the way I look right now#I feel so trapped by this fucking weight#and my working clothes do not help#I love getting to dress up#but that doesn’t get to happen unless it’s the weekend#like a part of my truly is aware that this struggle comes from internalized fatphobia#how fat girls always have to perform a higher degree of fashion/appearance/grooming#I know that#but if it genuinely helps me feel better about myself…#ugh#this is why I need to get back to therapy and why it SUCKS that no one has evening or weekend appointments#PERSONAL#DO NOT REBLOG
