Struggling with Self-love and Chronic Asthma

hello, I have chronic asthma, and I suffer depression maybe once or twice a month. and by golly I know I'm chunky but I wish I loved my body like other people do. my parents do love me, my fiancé loves me, and my cats do too. but sometimes I wish I could just love myself too. I hate looking in the mirror because I don't look pretty unless I use filters. and I do get tremors sometimes, or that is at least what my doctor thinks they are. but they have been under control since they put me on a medication for it. I kinda forget things sometimes, so if I tend to say something a couple times, forgive me.

It’s all about ATTITUDE! I’ve struggled with that too but not about weight. I’ve been publicly body shamed and insulted. I think some 15 year old kid called me a fat bitch once and he NEVER DID IT AGAIN! I don’t put up with that crap. Remember this, God created and He sees a beautiful person. So do I. So quit insulting yourself and Him. Love is something we all need if your family loves you, praise Jesus. I don’t apologize for my faith, that’s just me not trying to push it on you. I wouldn’t dare! Here’s something to consider, sometimes we are our own worst enemy and it’s not always satanic as in the disgraced angel everyone knows as Lucifer or Satan. But if you feel like that self hatred is coming from anywhere else, that’s how Lucifer works and sometimes he’ll try to deceive you and make you think that it’s coming from you. If not, then you need to change the your attitude about yourself. Take charge and pitch the rotten attitude in the garbage. The depression, that can be changed by more than 1 thing, change of diet, getting out of the house for a walk, ( vitamin D3 from the sun helps and so would good vegetarian based vitamin D3. I’m not a expert, just stuff I learned. ) 🙏🏻and. I love you too hon. Just keep going. Also don’t let others mess with you on the phone, internet or to your face, people are unpredictable and sometimes you have to learn how to make sure your attitude is healthy so that pulls the rug out from under them to be mean.

I'm religious too. I am a Christian. So I totally get what your saying. My brain was scattered. And me and my fiancé have gone on a low fat diet. It's going okay. And I'm a nightshifter so the sunlight hurts my eyes. But when given the opportunity, I walk from one doctor's office to my friends which is about a mile and a half. My happy sides come and go. I wish we could do more, but there's not a lot to really do where I live. And if anyone called me anything mean either someone I'm with spits stuff back at them or I turn the other cheek.
