Years ago I would have watched this and felt ashamed of my body. No it’s not the most flattering position. No I’m not sucking in or posing. And that alone, would have scared the crap out of me. I used to be the girl that would ask all of my friends or family to show me the picture we took together so I could delete the ones I didn’t like. I was constantly hiding behind people, covering my stomach up with my hand or frantically trying to get a hold of the phone or camera the photo was taken on so I could delete it. When I first found out about editing and photoshop (I was about 15), I used it religiously. I would push my belly in, get rid of my curves all together and make my skin smooth. Little did I know what effect this would have on my self worth. Using these editing apps made me hate my body even more off screen. I would look in the mirror and just cry. Why couldn’t I be the edited version of myself ? Once I started to focus on self love, everything changed. I stopped with the editing apps, I stopped with the sucking in, I stopped with the anxiety around other peoples photos of me. And MAN was it freeing. I was finally able to be my true self. I was finally able to see the beauty in a human body. Because that’s exactly what it is.. a BODY. That self heals, that keeps us alive, that allows us to make incredible memories here on earth. Your body is beautiful. When your not posing. When you are at your most natural state. Your body is your vessel. One that is so unique and intricate. One that is designed for YOU! So let’s celebrate that. Let’s celebrate YOU as you are. Because you are a masterpiece 💚
