The two photos below, shows me at two different ages one on the left I was about 22 and the one on the right I am almost 26. My habits and life styles are almost similar but what Ive recognized is people age! We grow up our bodies change and if we look back yes I had definition in my abs and my arms and legs were more in shape. But it doesnt mean I should drag myself down about it and wish I was 22 again and to have that body. I am almost 26 and I have a job with amazing coworkers, friends that care for me and support me, my family is always here for encouragement and an amazing boyfriend who loves me for me despite my recent honestly 15 lb weight gain! Yes!! I said it Ive gained 15 lbs in a year. But Ive struggled with my weight and appearance for so long, I was so self conscious and insecure for so long. Now I careless what people think and more on how I feel.I define my own beauty, inside and out. I am not perfect nor is my body. But happiness with yourself is a much more powerful thing than someone else commenting and passing judgment on you and yourself worthiness. We are strong women, we should be able to look in the mirror and be proud and happy with ourselves. Not saying losing a few pounds and eating healthy wont make you feel better but we dont need to let it consume us because once we do we loose ourselves in a world pool of defeat, judgment, and comparisons. I have my bad days, where I hate the way I feel and look but then I take what I do like about my body and I make small changes everyday inside and out to make me feel amazing and a strong women! Ladies I encourage you to not be ashamed of your bodies and embrace the skin you live in. Remember YOU, make your own beauty not the outside world that tells who you need to be or look like or act like. We have fought for independence and have our voices be heard. Show the world our strength! #bodyloverevolution I am tagging people to post a picture and express your #bodylove!
