Hey, it’s me. It’s been a while! 🧚🏻♀️
Part I hate social media, part this summer has been the worst.
But, here I am, living and breathing and having much gratitude.
This morning has been filled with drinking an entire French press by myself ☕️
Holding and meditating with my newly charged crystals with piper 🐈 (who could use all the healing and good energy cause of her lil ♥️)
And journaling, reflecting, and re-reading old journals and letters and WOW. All I can say is that is exactly what I needed. To put it all in perspective and to sit back and bask in the wonder of the journey and human experience.
If you have the time, wait, even if you don’t think you have the time, i suggest doing this.
Fill up that damn cup of yours with some coffee (or tea) and reflection.
I feel like a new woman.
Nice to write to you all again, maybe I won’t go away for so long this time 😘
Spending a lot of time on the beach and outside this summer which means I’m seein my body for what it is- all of it, no hiding. Yes, I can take a flattering picture like this, but truthfully?
I’ve gained weight and I’ve been feeling really shitty about it.
Lately I’ve felt so meh about my appearance. It’s affecting how my clothes fit. It’s making me feel uncomfortable. I don’t feel like me.
You can talk body positivity all you want but what about when you gain weight? What about then? How do you love yourself and feel good then? I preached it before because I wasn’t society’s “thin” or something, but I was still thin, and it wasn’t really hard to feel good about myself when all my clothes fit me the way they should/ once did. So, what now?
We are told weight gain is BAD , it’s the enemy, and we’re less than because of it. I know all that isn’t true but I still think it and (unfortunately) believe it on some deep level.
So, here I am. Kind of wanting to hate my body but working really hard on loving it, all of it, and for what it’s become.
I have been doing really intense HIIT classes 3x a week and feel strong AF, my ass looks great, and yea I have more of a tummy, but that 🍑 tho...Never had one of those before! 😂 trying to embrace the feeling of strength and working on making small changes that I know make me feel great. Weight loss isn’t the goal. Feeling good and feeling strong is. And it can look different than it did 3 years ago.
Working on embracing that change, because that’s all weight gain is really; change. Figure out how you feel about it and move on with love and compassion for yourself. At least that’s what I’m trying to do. 💗
