#liveyourbestlifenow
The great thing about this journey I’m on, is that through photo shoots and seeing my body from all angles, I’m able to finally see myself in my true form. In the beginning I found that particularly hard. During my many years battling with eating disorders and diet pill addiction, I had a very warped view of my body. It was mostly based on what I thought my body looked like rather than what it actually looked like. I shied away from being photographed from behind, or at angles that I considered highly unflattering. Any photos that I thought made me look voluptuous were immediately destroyed or hidden away but almost always accompanied by secret tears and feelings of shame, guilt and self loathing. I’d set myself unrealistic targets to lose weight and go to even more aerobics classes and sessions at the gym, telling myself I could truly live once I’d accomplished my goals. Now I try to look at myself with kind eyes. It’s not always easy but I’ve come to realise that often the things we despise most about our physical form, are the parts of us that are revered by others and seen as beautiful and desirable. But I’ve discovered more than anything, that the one part of us that determines who and what we really are and shows our true worth, is not the physical shell that we inhabit at all but the part of us that resides within. The shell can be battered, old, worn and broken but if the inner essence of us is grounded, kind, non judgmental, loving and compassionate, and emanates good thoughts towards ourselves and others, the light within us will shine out of us in such an enigmatic way, that even the most ‘flawed’ bodies will radiate beauty in their own right ❤️ #bekindtoyourself #bekindtoothers #bekindtooneanother❤️ #liveyourbestlifenow #gigi_satin #selflove #lovetheskinimin #lovetheskinyourein #bopo #bopojourney #voluptuous #volup2isdiversity

Who loves a good challenge? Double tap if you do ️
The #huddlechallenge2020 has officially started and now I want to keep my promise and support you in becoming the best version of yourself this year.
One of the fastest ways to become the best version of yourself is by simple learning something new
This is why we are going to declare 2020 as the year of our personal growth. Are you all in for that?
What is it you always wanted to learn, try or do but never did?
This year I want you to get rid of excuses, self-doubt, and fear and just start doing. This is why you will literally learn anything this year.
Talking about start doing things. The first thing that you can do right now to get started is this:
Make a list of all the things you always wanted to learn but never did. There is no right or wrong here. You can put anything on your list from coding, to shuffling cards, to writing, yoga, playing an instrument, cooking, learning a new language…
If you want you can share your personal list by using #huddlechallenge2020. By doing so you cannot only get to know other members of the huddle who might help you with this skill but also inspire others to show up for themselves and start becoming the person they always wanted to become.
Once you have created your personal list - I’m going to reveal the next steps to you. Stay tuned, huddle!
