I feel compelled to post here again because of how the site has grown.
Because of how I have evolved.
Because of how we-as women, as peers, as supporters of one another-have strengthened in mind and numbers.
My home is full of noise and I am full of pride.
My two beautiful children continue to teach me:
To slow down.
To listen.
To breathe.
I continue to tell myself to accept myself.
And I am. I am trying.
This thanksgiving may we all give thanks for the network we have created.
That we are creating.
Be kind to one another.
Fight for one another.
Love one another.
Love our children.
Love our children.
Love our children.
I like your post. You didn’t give a sob story of how much you hate your body, you just said that you are accepting it and I think that’s awesome because instead of listing all of the negative things about yourself you write that you’re accepting it. Way to go! I like that you mentioned the strength of women but I love that instead of saying what children did to your body you wrote what they do for our hearts. And as far as your body goes, you look great! You are shaped like a human being, not like an underweight twig that some wish they could look like. You look healthy and fit and proportionate! You look awesome:]
your hotter then any porn star out there and i mean that in the most positive way possible. you dont look like you ever had a child. lucky you im jealous
I could not be MORE jealous of your breasts! I would PAY for those! I honestly think you look incredible and would trade bodies with you in a heart beat. Your post was touching and I can really relate to your poetic words. Keep up the good work, mamma!
@mystory I agree with what you say about the author being strong and accepting of herself. But when you commend her for not giving a “sob story” you’re kind of diminishing the community here by being derogatory towards those who are trying to share their bodily misgivings.
Some women struggle daily with accepting themselves. Please do not downplay their struggles by referring to them as “sob stories.”
I don’t see a ‘flaw ‘ on you!
