@@sandyandchance Thank you. I appreciate that. I was hoping it'd come across that way. I'm enjoying this little Self-love series, though they're emotionally hard to do. ☺️🧌🖤👸🏾💃🏿

My childhood was very traumatic so looking at myself in the mirror I thought 💭 I was so ugly because the horrendous things that I lived through were so ugly. It took years for me to see my reflection as the beautiful person I know I am affirmations were what worked for me. 💓

@imartinez2518 You are a survivor and I'm glad you've learned to love yourself. Yes, to affirmations. Sometimes, we need to validate ourselves. Look at ourselves in the mirror and say, "I love you and you're an amazing person." I appreciate you sharing your story 🤗

Hey Dion, enjoyed this part as well. I haven’t had any chemicals on my hair since 1998. I wore braids during my transition. After that wore my hair out or braids and wigs (sweat too much in my head for those) occasionally. When my mom got sick in 2019 it began to fall out from the front of my hairline through my entire crown area. I found out I was very deficient in vitamin D and iron. I was going to shave my hair and my mom asked me not to because she said it would grow back (she was a nurse too)😍 I think that combined with stress, not being able to eat and rest like I should contributed to it. I found some vitamins that helped my levels increase, my hair filled in that area and it’s still doing so. I was almost completely bald in that area. During that part of my journey I decided to wear head wraps which still continue to do the majority of the time as my protective style. I used to be self-conscious because I’m short and thick but I’ve gotten over that. I wouldn’t wear shorts away from home until I found some comfortable athletic shorts that stop mid thigh and I slide in them and go on about my business, Brick House and all🤣🤣💃🏾💃🏾😘💜🌹 Thanks for sharing.

Hey Sarah 👋🏽. This comment was hiding from me 😒. Thank you. I appreciate you being here. Reading your comment, I was trying to remember when I stopped using chemicals in my hair. I'm thinking early 2000's 🤔. Once I started wearing backs, that was it. Thank you for sharing your story about your hair journey/situation. I'm glad it's continuing to grow back. Vitamin deficiencies affect more than we tend to realize. I tend to wear hats. My head feels like it's burning on hot days and freezing in the winter. Head wraps are so cute. I don't know why I never got into wearing them 🤔. I actually wore thigh-length shorts today 🤯. Brick House all the way with self-acceptance and self-love 🙌🏽🤗

Thanks for sharing your experiences and stories with us. (I am not entering since I just won) The weight section is really nice to hear. Because of my past situations growing up I always saw myself as ‘fat’ even when I wasn’t in others eyes. To the point I sucked in my stomach 24/7 for many years that it became normal and natural to do and I no longer had to remember to do it. I no longer do that by the way😊

@samlynn2319 You're welcome, Sam. That's considerate, I appreciate that, and I'm sure others will too 😀 Weight is still tricky for me. I'm self-conscious about it, sometimes. Depends on where I am and what I'm doing. Sounds like me. I used to suck in my stomach so much it became subconscious. Also, same as you, I don't do it anymore. Thanks for sharing your story 😊

My hair is long, but I wish it wasn't quite so long. Keeping it this way is a compromise so my husband don't shave his again, because if he does, I will shave mine too 😂.

I wash my hair maybe twice a week max in summer and maybe every 3 wks or so in the winter. If it doesn't look oily, I stretch it 😂 longer.

@@sandyandchance Hey, Day One 👋🏽. I hear you. I only wash my buzzcut a couple times a week because my scalp gets itchy and I refuse to buy oils or leave-in conditioners LOL. If I have a sweaty day, I wash it because sweat makes me feel gross and dirty. When I had braids, I stretched out washing my hair, too.

Hey Dion ❤ I worked so hard to love my body for what it is lol im like a board lol no booty or boobies 😂 then I realized so many girls want to be thin what's so bad about it right, it did take me many years to over come this and sometimes I still see my self thinking this. Im blessed no matter what my body looks like 😊 I'm starting to be more confident 🥰
