•first freestyle in a while• since getting into bodybuilding I’ve noticed how normalised it is to cover up yourself in your building phase by way or oversized T-shirt’s, purposely not wearing shorts & the like. i remember before I got into bodybuilding, when I’d post my pole videos not even really caring how my body looked & just focusing on the dance & tricks I’d learned and just how much fun I had. it wasn’t until recently myself that I realised for the past month or so I had been avoiding posting my pole videos for that very internalised body dysmorphia that I had developed. with that, I recently stopped freestyling on my own as much as I used to because I felt so uncomfortable with the extra weight but... TODAY I chose to remind myself to: • accept myself as I am right now, extra weight, curves & all; • do my best to love myself; • focus on doing the things I love; • how I feel is more important than how I look; 🫶🏻🤍 #poledancer #freestyle #polechoreo #pdfloorwork #dancer #polechoreography #heelschoreography
