Are Some People Just Bigger?

I often look in the mirror.

That's normal. Most people do look in the mirror on a daily basis.

The thing is I don't think I've ever been happy with what I look like when I look in the mirror. Not even when I was a little girl.

I mean sure there are times when I get a new dress, or I am getting ready to go out, I feel like I look prettier than when I just wake up in the morning and before I go to work I meet certain standards that say I'm allowed to go out in public, but I've always felt like I was bigger than I should be.

I've always taken steps and measures to try and make myself smaller...but even if I lost a bunch of weight, it wouldn't necessarily make my shoulders less broad or my legs less muscular.

We're always told that people come in all shapes and sizes...so the answer is yes...of course some people are just bigger!

My real question is, why isn't that okay?

Not every small person or thin person I've met has felt this way.

So why is it less acceptable for a bigger person to look in the mirror and think "this is okay."

These people are more likely to be judged by other people or not fit into normal sized clothing.

New goal: I want to be able to look in the mirror and be happy with what I see. Not just okay with what I look like that day, but really be happy about myself.

Not sure how I'm going to achieve this one, but it's worth a shot.
