I am not super fond of my forever mom tummy that never seems to go away, I have scars and bruises and stretch marks from growing my two beautiful babies and the girls are less than perky these days to say the least. My skin tone is uneven and I am sure I could use a collagen supplement on the regular… and I let insecurity creep in far too often.
The sad truth about the world today is I will probably never have my “perfect body”, or if I do achieve my body goals, I will “hate” something else about myself because we live in a youth obsessed world and the ongoing exposure through the media has us in a constant state of comparison and negative self talk.
Seeing yourself the way others do is an important key to Self Love. When I look at this unedited photo of me, I can actually see what others see and after some serious pep talks with myself, I am able to look past all the “flaws” and I can see how beautiful this real body is.
Surround yourself with positive people and experiences and keep those that encourage you, and give you confidence, closer to you.
And always remember that even if you think you aren't “pretty enough”, or “skinny enough” or the million other untruthful things we tell ourselves .. know that you ARE enough of whatever you think you aren't. ✌️❤️
