“Hourglass at a glance, with generous amounts of cellulite and stretch marks at my hips and thighs.”
“My body: You will never catch it slouching. Tall and long-limbed, it moves with effortless grace or painful levels of clumsiness. Lines not as smooth or as powerful as they once were, but fuller and softer. Hourglass at a glance, with generous amounts of cellulite and stretch marks at my hips and thighs. Covered in scars. Reminders of what was once possible. Moles and freckles dance across my pale skin, acting as a personified version of connect-the-dots. My Eastern European roots show through in the layer of “fur” that covers my whole body, keep- ing my eyebrows and hair thick. I have too much faith that my body will continue to show me excitement in what it enjoys, as much as it shows me remorse in what pains it to ever wish for another [body] again!” “The hardest part about creating a body positive image, at least for me, has been understanding that I am in competition with no one . My body is my own. It’s never going to look like your body, it’s never going to feel like your body, and it’s never going to react like your body. Holding yourself to the standards of others is foolish, wasteful and damaging.”
