The message behind this post is what I strive to share all day everyday! ⁣

Thanks to @oftenanxiousalwayshungry for the reminder! ⁣
⁣
And shout out to @burghbrides for having me chat with her audience about body image and not having to change your body for your wedding! ⁣

Just a reminder from someone who has had body image issues since elementary school…you do NOT need to lose weight for your wedding! I agree with @burghbrides that #sweatingforthewedding can be pretty toxic.⁣

There’s soooo much planning that goes into a wedding and for me weight loss wasn’t worth the stress. Over the years I’ve gained confidence in my curves and try to have a body positive mindset. I have given myself grace for gaining weight during Covid. I love food! My husband and I first bonded over a mutual love of eating at different restaurants & he’s a really good cook! ⁣

Do I wish my arms & back weren’t so chubby in the first photo? Yes! Do I wish my face was thinner & my chin wasn’t so flabby in most of the photos? Yes! Did I feel self conscious at all about my body on my wedding day? No, because I married someone who loves me for me and not my weight! I loved my dress and I was surrounded by friends and family that made me feel amazing! But it has taken a lot of work over many years to be comfortable in my genes! ⁣
