In honor of the #FreeTheFUPA campaign, allow me to show the other, more vulnerable side of it. There is about a 70 lb difference between these pics. It may not seem like its that much to someone else. People try to comfort me and say it isn't as bad as I think it is. But here's the thing... I don't feel at home in this newer body. I feel displaced. That's what makes me want to change it. I'm saying that to say you can FULLY love and accept who you are WHILE also wanting to change it. The same adoration, care, appreciation, pride that I had for me on the left, it's my job and obligation to have for me on the right . I deserve my own support. I won't survive this life if i don't give it to myself and I probably won't be able to get back to me I want to be either! What I'm saying is, the key to breaking through a tough part of your life is full love, empathy and acceptance. Otherwise you just become an enemy of yourself . _______________________________________________ This is has been a HARD week for me in terms of my self image. My skin is dragging, took my hair out to redo it so i was walking around being a bald-head scallywag and to top it off ive been so in my head about the extra weight. It created a perfect storm of emotion in me . Oddly enough, sometimes i feel invisible in this body. Like when I'm walking down the street people look through me . But this is why I scream FREE THE FUCKIN FUPA!!! Its about more than taking hot ass pics with ya belly, thighs and rolls out! It's about allowing yourself to be vulnerable enough to heal YOSELF!! To be scared, ashamed, not at home in your body and still recognize that it deserves to be free, seen, heard, and well fucking loved!!! . If this is all I get...for the rest of my life..to be the girl on the right, why would I spend it hating myself?! When hate is what got me here and When love is so much more productive! 🤷🏽♀️ I hope this helps somebody .. bc I genuinely love yall man and i just want us all to get free and stay free .
