This is me at 108 lbs. Laughing, smiling, projecting a confidence that I didn't feel. I HATED my body.⁠ ⁠ Even in my teenage years, I'd averaged somewhere around 130 lbs, so you can imagine the shock of going from 126 lbs. pre-pregnancy to 167 lbs. at delivery to 107 lbs. just a few months after.⁠ ⁠ I felt like after everything we had been through, my body just wouldn't show up for me. I felt unattractive. I was uncomfortable in my own skin. None of my clothes fit. And no matter what I did, I just couldn't gain the weight back. ⁠ ⁠ Eventually, I realized that it was deeper than the weight. I was suffering from postpartum anxiety and depression. ⁠ ⁠ The minute I focused on healing and managing my mental health, things started changing. ⁠ ⁠ I was happier...healthier. I felt like I was able to be a better mom. And slowly but surely, the numbers on the scale started to rise.⁠ ⁠ I'm in such a great season of life now!⁠ Go ahead & swipe left to behold the happy weight 🙌🏾😂 ⁠ Sometimes we have to focus on our insides first to reflect the changes we'd like to see on the outside.⁠ ⁠ ⁠ What do you love about your body? How have you dealt with unwanted changes? Do you prioritize your mental health? Why or why not? ⁠ ⁠ Talk to me in the comments!⁠ If you like these looks and want to shop some similar pieces, they're on the @liketoknow.it app. Follow us there to shop this post!
