Please understand that I do not post these pictures going "HEY EVERYONE LOOK AT MY PERFECT BUTT AND FLAT STOMACH AND COOL POLE CLOTHES!" I'm here to inspire other ladies who want to be a part of something amazing. It's a sisterhood that I can't begin to thank for all that it's done for me. I've met the most amazing human beings that I never want to be without. It's given me more self confidence than I can measure when I was at the heaviest and worst I've ever felt about myself. I was so out of shape and now I'm looking better, feeling great and loved by other amazing, gorgeous, badass ladies I can't wait to see almost every single day. I'm not perfect but it's here on @instagram that I watched other #poleathletes and decided that was the fitness path I wanted to travel on. It's this platform that I get ideas and inspiration from for what I want to do next. I hope that for some of you, I inspire you to do the same. I'm no pole god, but I'm real and if I can do it, you can too! So please, before you judge, take that intention into consideration. Take a glance at some of the hashtags and see the other women that taught me tricks or showed me new polewear and understand the community we have here before hopping to conclusions. I don't judge you, so please don't judge me. I can take whatever opinions from strangers but it's when it comes from people I actually care for, it isn't quite as easy to brush off. #endrant #mushypost #pleasedonttrytodullmysparkle #tryaclassbeforeyoujudge #mystomachisnotflat #notshowingoff #tryingtoinspirethewayihavebeen #mypassion (at Shore Pole Dance & Fitness)
