my first thought seeing this selfie was “ew, Grayson, you are so skinny. You aren’t making any progress.” the negative self talk is LOUD - and I’m learning to observe that voice and not attach to it as my own, but a voice of a very insecure young boy who desperately seeks belonging.

As a natural skinny boy that loses mass easily, it’s crazy how loud that self talk can be. Even when we get bigger and we really aren’t even skinny, they persist, because that’s how our self critique has been trained. It’s so important to not only remember that voice is attached to insecurity but also that we, our bodies, will always be in flux and that we are not any less beautiful just because we have a few less pounds of muscle. You look great now and deserve the same self respect now as you would if you gained more 😌

I have the exact same problem but COME ON, you look incredible

@austinsdalley so so beautiful said. And thank you ❤️

@savvas.paschalis thank yooouuu! Glad you can relate 😅 its a constant practice of learning that we are not our thoughts

I joined the group! Haha, I literally feel the same way. I can relate with you all 🙈 But we all know this voice is total Bs. Embrace yourself ❤️

i totally understand

You gotta be kidding me, you look good 🔥
