“Why not learn to love all of my hills, rolls, dips and stretch marks?”
body image
“My body is short in height, which, in my case, accentuates my plump- ness. I do have thick thighs and a butt
to match. My arms and inner thighs could definitely use work! I have currently started working out and eating better and can see the results, which are great; however, after three Cesarean deliveries, the fat usually just falls to the ground instead of having the elasticity my muscles in my stomach should have. My knees ache from too much activity, but I want to see myself look halfway decent in a bathing suit. I have wonderful skin and a beautiful face, which is what I am most thankful for.”
“If I could have a conversation with 12-year-old me, I would tell myself just because you are a little bigger than the other girls, don’t let that mess with your self esteem. Know that you are beautiful inside and out and you do not need a man to define that for you! God created you in His image and He loves you for you, so ignore them and their comments. Know you are beautiful, and one day you will see just how gorgeously you stand in your own skin!” “I like anything that is different. I dress all my outfits up with jewelry (I love bling)! There is absolutely nothing I can live with- out in my jewelry box! I love chunky, fashionable, flashy jewelry. On top of dressing and accessorizing my curves, I’m learning to love me for all that I am. After all, my husband thinks I’m the most gorgeous woman in the world, so why not agree with him? Why not stop cringing when I look at myself in the mirror, side view and all? Why not learn to love all of my hills, rolls, dips and stretch marks? After all, they all represent my story. It has been a long journey to love myself, but I feel like I have made it!”
