Today wasn't my "best" day in terms of thoughts towards food & my body. I had a mini freakout after eating 6 birthday cake oreos (which were delicious AF🎂) I started panicking that I was going to gain weight and that I was going to fall back into that terrifying/life-sucking binge & restrict cycle 😔 I had to stop & take a deep breath and realize that it was OKAY that I had those six oreos and those disordered thoughts needed to gtfo 💃 I went to a yoga class which was my first time going to the gym in 2 months 🎉 and I just concentrated on my balance and my breathing instead of allowing more of those "you're fat and everyone is staring at thoughts" to take over. Not everyday will be a good day, but these are the ones that make us a helllll of a lot stronger 🙌💃💖✨ #ilovemybeautifulbody #yearofselflove #mycalvins #everyBODYisagoodbody #effyourbeautystandards

Ok this may be a "weird" post in terms of societial standards but whatever 🙄 Growing up I was always called flat, a wall, etc. so all I wanted was boobs to be "normal" 🤔 They went back to being basically non-existant during prep which is of course expected. When I started gaining weight back my boobs starting growing and I was SO UNCOMFORTABLE and embarrassed. Boobs to was a "sign" that I was "fat" (everyone's body is different so I was *only" referring to myself when I thought that) I've recently realized that I'm finally *accepting* my body completely for what it is. Yes, I have been open about my other vulnerabilities (stomach, legs etc.) but this insecurity is weird bc most women (like me when I was younger) wanted bigger boobs SO BAD but to me it meant I was "fat". Not anymore though 💃 Our boobs are amazing things!! They are not a sexual object. We have them so we can nourish and feed our infants. And I think that is pretty 👏 damn 👏 amazing 👏 So ladies, love your boobs whatever size they are 😘✨ #ilovemybeautifulbody #aerieREAL #embracethesquish

I'd love to have a cute picture of my Sunday morning chills looking all pinteresty and hipster with a coffee & a journal and fake lashes on and in a cute outfit with my hair messy but still look low key nice AF but THIS is my reality this morning 💃😂 In my boyfriend's oversized T & old boxers with bowling balls and pins all over them 😂 no makeup on and hair a mess while editing a new vlog for today. Never in a million years would I ever post a pic of my leg looking like THAT 👉🤔 my upper leg/glutes are covered in stretch marks (can't see because of how bright it is in here). I used to crop my pictures when I was younger so my legs seemed smaller bc I always HATED how big my legs are 😞 But these legs do whatever I need them to do. They carry me day in and day out 🙌 So I'm going to show them unlimited amounts of love today & not be ashamed of them 💕✨ ENJOY YOUR SUNDAY 😘 and make it full of self-love & self-care 💖 #selfcaresunday #ilovemybeautifulbody

Happy Valentine's Day! 😘❤ Same body, different look. I think pictures like this are necessary 🙌 They show how easily with a quick twist and push back of the hips your physique can look quite different. I'm learning to love BOTH looks 💃 Yes even though I promote body positivity like no other it doesn't change the fact that I've been basically brainwashed to favour the picture on the right 👉 and to be completely honest that is definitely the picture I would've posted before I found the #bopo community ✨ but that's ok because I'm continuing to fall more in love with the picture on the left 👈 every single day 🙌❤ Self-love takes patience 💕 It isn't going to happen overnight just like you didn't learn that a certain body type is better than another over night. I hope you all had a wonderful day and I hope you showed your body mad amounts of love 😘😘 #ilovemybeautifulbody #yearofselflove #transformationtuesday #jksecondtransformation

We so often equate weight loss with happiness. We think that with weight loss will come positive body image. However, if you are coming from a place of self-hate and disgust, regardless of the amount of weight you lose you'll never be happy 😔 Love your body the way it is right NOW 💕✨🙌 #yearofselflove #ilovemybeautifulbody

There is no one-size-fits-all for eating disorders & body dysmorphia ☝ You can't simply look at someone and judge them whether they struggle or not based on their body or their face. If you looked at me the past 3 years and used my body as judgement for my ED, you'd think I was fine 🤔 I wasn't skin & bones. I wasn't insanely overweight. But I WAS fighting the same demons day in & out. I WAS crying and breaking down because I hated my body so much 😞 This is something that needs to be addressed! People of allllll shapes and sizes struggle daily. Some people may look at this picture 👉 and would kill to have my body while others would think I need to lose weight and will call me fat. I used to be one of those people who thought I was disgusting. Not anymore 🙌 I don't look in the mirror and tear my body apart. That back roll and the cellulite on my legs and my love handles are FINE right where they are 😇 I love this beautiful body of mine. 16 years of struggling with disordered behaviors and I can finally say that 🤗 I shared my story today at St. Clair College thanks to @jessica.knightxo & it was an amazing experience! I will be sharing it on YT hopefully by the end of this week! #ilovemybeautifulbody #yearofselflove (PS a new vlog IS up tonight! 💃 check it out on YT @ GirlMeetsWeights 🎥😘)
