180lbs, happy & healthy. Oh how long it’s taken for me to be happy with my size 8 body👇🏻 Growing up, I was always that tall athletic, thicker girl that never fit into anything from abercrombie or holister. I wore shorts over my swimsuit bottoms because I was embarrassed. I bought smaller, tighter clothes hoping that that would convince me to “eventually fit into them.” and I somehow convinced myself I didn’t deserve certain things because I wasn’t small enough. Which is sad, because looking back at photos, I’m like WTF I WAS MAD AT THAT BODY?!! Society is funny that way. I feel fit, I feel healthy, I workout almost 7 days a week, I summit mountains… and yet, for my whole life, that was never enough??? Oh, I see cellulite, so I must not be working hard enough????? Are you kidding me?? When in reality, I have been able to accomplish everything with this body. So a few years ago, I started sharing my size online & what clothes fit me the best… and after hundreds of women started letting me know how helpful it was to them, it unknowingly made me appreciate my body. So, In a word that seems like it’s going back to some unhealthy, smaller trends, I am here to remind you (and myself) YOU’R HOT & YOU’RE HEALTHY!!! And if you feel good, you look good. Duh!!! Also, I have never been so vulnerable in a post about this before… SO THIS IS SCARY FOR ME. MIGHT DELETE AHH
