It seems everyone I follow on social media has been struggling these last few weeks with body image. Even those girls I deem as having my dream body have been beating themselves up.
It seems that no matter how perfect the rest of the world deems us we all have those couple of things we absolutely hate and want to fix.
For me seeing all those other women be open and honest about it made me realize I wasn't alone. Even just having a five minute rant session with a fellow struggler made me more at peace with my own feelings of frustration at not being where I want to be.
It took me seven years to get my meal and fitness plan to a point where I don't stress about parties, eating out, missing a workout or just being human. I still, however stress about the size of my stomach, how big my butt is and how I can't fit in any normal size bra.
I recently had a conversation with one of my accountability partners about how my breasts seem to have grown in the last two months. She had to stop me mid conversation and ask if I was happy or upset about this. I am upset mostly because I really like being able to buy bathing suits and bras at the normal store because they are way cheaper than the specialty shops for us busty girls. I also understand that a lot of women would love my size. We all want something different and it is totally normal but I am on a mission to accept my body where it is and at every stage of my journey.
My first step is reading the book Breaking the Habit of Being Yourself by Dr. Joe Dispenza. I am about half way through and will keep you posted as I work on his practice to help you accept who you are.
What tricks do you have for self acceptance and loving yourself where you are at?
