Body issues? Oh, yes! For 15 years I cringed when my husband saw me naked. I almost fainted when I did, so I stopped weighing or looking in mirrors that were full length. It was to protect myself and keep from depression.
Every day I thought of being fat and how every article of clothing I put on was worn on the basis of how fat it made me look. Even still, though I am at a reasonable weight, I must find other ways to define my view of myself.
I have an intense love of the Bible, and see reflections of who I am by reading, not just a reflection of God. In the Psalms, there are verses saying God formed me in the womb and knew me before He even formed me. ...That I was unique, and yet perfectly made, with all my positives and all my frailties.
I began to feel precious in His sight which gave me a better view of myself.
Someone woke me up once by saying that same verse was true of my family, friends, enemies and my husband, too!!
