Be who you wish you had grown up seeing in the mirror, the one you’ll proudly & affectionately look back on being, & the one savoring the process becoming them
It’s 5:55am this is likely & algorithmically the worst time to post
Alas, sometimes we just need to create when we have the mental real estate to do so.
We get so stuck in what’s next we don’t take enough pause to see how far we’ve come.
I cringed at my first stretch mark & belly roll.
I bought the lotions & creams, I cursed the genetics that gave them to me. I hated food – it was the enemy. The thing that made me fat & “undesirable.”
That’s where we started.
Now?
I feel nothing except gratitude for “flaws.”
They did everything they were supposed to.
I was the girl who wore a T-shirt over her bathing suit for years both because I was ashamed of my body & overweight, & I was always in pain, bloated, struggling with gut issues — which made me a miserable person because that’s how I chose to react.
I empathize with anyone struggling with a dis-ease that makes them feel like a prisoner in their own body, that makes them feel lost & weird & less than & hopeless.
I have scars from surgery on my abdomen. I have a scar from a navel ring, which I got when I turned 18 because my parents told me I couldn’t
I have creases & cellulite & stretch marks on my tummy & thighs because my body is miraculous & adaptable.
I have belly rolls when I sit down just like you. I have tons of sunspots & freckles & wrinkles from days making memories in the sun.
I’ve survived cervical cancer, infertility, renal stones, eating disorders, obesity, chronic pain from #crohnsdisease , scoliosis & old injuries, broken bones, depression, childhood & relationship trauma, debt in so many more ways than money…
…it’s called life. And we have the power to control how we respond to things
Take your power back.
