…You mean like stepping onto a stage wearing butt floss?Β πππ
.
How did that take me closer to who I want to become? One of my past wounds is my own self-image. Being told I needed to lose weight as a 16 year NFL cheerleader was the validation I had been looking for as a teenager: I was fat. It was a fact. (Weight: 120 lbs)
I let that βshameβ shape who I was for years and years after.
I have longed to become a woman who is comfortable in her own skin; has a healthy relationship with food; who is strong, confident, and does not allow others opinions of me to become my reality.
So I stepped onto that stage in that butt floss to celebrate that woman who I have become, am still becoming if I am completely honest.Β π
