It's frigging 8 pounds and I worked really hard for it.
I love how your mind works when it come to things like these. The quick and constant reminders are very important. Everyone has their own path to follow and loosing 8 pounds in 5 weeks is not the easiest of tasks but you did it anyway!
The song by Dipha Barus is such a feel good song. Perfect for recuperating.
Sometimes when you compare yourself to others, you diminish your own achievements. I used to get so bad about it that I never felt grateful about anything. It's like I was so out-of-touch and unhappy. These days though, fuck all that. I am focusing on me and I am happy even if I lost a pound in a month or something. I wrote that being ugly rocks and it was one of the thing that paved my way to acceptance.
Self acceptance is very underrated in my opinion. There are people out there who constantly compare themselves to others and like you've rightly mentioned, it can lead to unhappiness ans even depression in the long run.
Being contented and focused is all that really matters.
