✨ I want not your opinions.

Is what my shirt says. Now that I have your attention, let’s talk hips. As you can tell, I have pretty big ones. And I always have. I hated my hips and still have moments where I wish they were smaller. Do you know how hard it is to find things that fit when your ass and hips are 15 inches bigger than your waist?!

I digress. I am so grateful for this #beyourownvalentine2019 challenge right now because normally after being sick for a few days and not being able to workout, I would have torn my body apart. I would have forced myself to workout no matter how badly I felt. Because I ‘had’ to. Even though my body was screaming at me to rest. Because I had to shrink my hips (and the rest of my body).

But, because of this challenge, this time when I caught glimpse of my sick ass self in the mirror with my pizza shirt and Star Wars boxers - I didn’t hate what I saw. I don’t look any different after not working out for a few days. I’m actually getting better quicker than I usually do. Because I have been listening to my body and not kicking it when it’s down and needs to rest.

What is your favorite part of this challenge? Can you believe we are already halfway done?! I’m kind of sad about it tbh. How have your thoughts changed since starting? Have you have any epiphanies like I did? I would love to hear your thoughts ☺️⬇️✨
