This is terrifying, I'll admit it. Something made me decide to talk about my body on the internet... Oh God, what was I thinking???
Okay, honestly, other creators are making me love my body again and I want to share that love with others. So, here's my little story to start with!
Back in college, I had a go of it. Between deaths of loved ones and the death of a relationship and date rape, I wouldn't say they were the best 4 years of my life. Far from it, actually. I hated college. I looked cute, sure. But, I was MISERABLE. Then, halfway through my junior year, I met this super cool dude who made me feel...happy...for the first time in years.
So, we started going out. He realized I straight up wasn't eating more than half a meal a day, so he just shoved food in front of me every chance he got. He's an AMAZING cook, so I couldn't turn this stuff down! Then, before I knew it, I had gained 45 pounds and didn't fit in any of my clothes.
I hated myself for a while. I hated that I had let myself get so out of shape. Then I remembered, I was eating how much I was supposed to and actually exercising for the first time in my life. THIS is what my body is supposed to look like. I wasn't supposed to be as small as I was in 2015. My natural body is mid-size. And you know what? I fucking love it, now. Usually.
We all have bad days and we all have good days. Days where we feel hot as hell and want to flaunt body-con dresses and wild makeup. Other days where we want to hide in over-sized tees and sweatpants. No one has the perfect body image all of the time. But, I want to help other people love themselves more than they hate themselves.
It's so freeing to throw out your scale, put on a pair of jeans that fit (maybe a size 8 maybe a size 12, who cares!), and feel like a fucking rock star. The goal of this new blog is to make my struggles leave my own head and remind myself that I am beautiful. Maybe, through this process, I can make you love yourself too.
Feel free to sign up for my mailing list, take advantage of that contact card, and let me know what you want to see! If you have questions or topics you want me to cover, I would love to know! I know that was a short one but I just wanted to give you a really quick intro to myself and the blog!
