#bodyneutrality
I’m choosing me.
I’m not choosing to gain weight. I’m choosing to be me.
because I am not …
* saying no to plans that might involve food.
* body checking after every meal to know how much self-loathing to carry with me that day.
*rigid. numb. foggy.
*stuck in my head. distant. never present. &never truly joining in.
because I am …
* sitting at a bar, alone, having margs just because //no special occasion needed to treat myself//.
* splitting an unplanned slice of cake with a best friend.
* spontaneous. clear-minded. emotional (for the good &for the bad).
* living life. experiencing the world around me. joining in &making memories with the ones I love oh so much.
gains.
positives to weight gain
*you wear clothes, no more clothes wearing you.
* &you get to buy new clothes
*moving without fear of breaking
*discovering your body does more than hurt &be cold.
*stepping out of the fog &being present.
*social eating is actually social (not a stressful clusterfuck)
*finding ways to define yourself other than the skinny one.
*feeling. having enough energy to experience&show emotion.
*freeing up brain space to think about so many other //better// things.
*having an all natural glow up.
Cheeky! Cheeky! Hope you’ve all had a good week. Let the weekend commence! #cheeky #bodystocking #strappy #redheels #cellulit #bodyacceptance #bodyneutrality #dimples #weekendfeels

There has been this misconception for a women to be considered healthy and fit she needs to be around 120-130 pounds. And that is 100% not the reality for all women. We come in different heights, we gain muscle and weight all differently. To say that all women should be a certain weight to be healthy is bullshit and sticking us in a box (And honestly the same goes for men) Because of what social media is constantly pushing us what healthy “should look like” it has subconiously taught us to compare our bodies to women that fit in that so called “box” of what healthy is. And honestly fuck that

It’s ok that your jeans don’t fit!
If you just gave birth, gained weight or literally any reason and your jeans don’t fit that is 100% ok!
An influencer I follow gave birth about a week after me and less than a week after she gave birth she was excitedly sharing that she fit into her jeans and looked like she hadn’t just carried a baby for 9 months. Right away I thought that maybe I could fit into mine. I tried on my jeans and they were not even close to fitting. I was so upset. I later saw an unposed picture of that influencer in her jeans and they weren’t perfect fitting as it had seemed in the original post. It took me a bit to realize that it’s OK that I don’t fit into my jeans or look perfect, I literally carried and birthed a child! So remember what you see on social media isn’t always the reality and to not compare yourself to the people you follow on social media. Trust me I know It’s hard to not compare yourself to others. Sometimes It takes me a while to recognize when I am comparing myself to others. But it’s important to recognize it and remind yourself that what you see isn’t always perfect behind the scenes!

Bodies are not meant to be flawless✨
Bodies are unique and special in their own way
It’s not always easy to see stretch marks, rolls and dimples on our bodies. Especially when we constantly see ‘flawless’ photoshopped bodies all over Instagram. Stop comparing your body to the unrealistic ones you see on social media!

One year ago I had breast augmentation, often otherwise known in the trans community as top surgery. This last year has taught me a lot about myself. I learned to love my body even more. I grew in my confidence. I took up space and showed up in ways I never thought I could. I learned not to care less about what others think. I also learned to appreciate my body in new ways. The euphoria from having top surgery allowed me to shrug off dysphoria surrounding other parts of my body.
It took a lot of hard work, perseverance, resilience, and support to be get where I am in life. Thank you for the love, the kind comments, the willingness to learn, and thank you everyone who (just a year ago?!) donated to my breast augmentation gofundme
