Welcome to the Emotional Olympics: you’re picking outfits and trying to hype yourself up, but in the back of your mind is that voice: “will someone say something?” “will they look at me judgingly?” “will they judge what I eat?” Sometimes the people who are supposed to love you unconditionally are the ones who taught you to measure your worth by your body. and even if they don’t say it out loud anymore, you feel it. the glances. the silence. the comments masked as concern. but choose to show up anyway. not for them. for you. for the version of you who is learning that softness is not shameful. that weight is not a crime. that you are allowed to exist, fully, even if you don’t fit the mold they wanted you in. if you’re going through this, i see you. you’re not alone. and you don’t have to shrink to be loved. Tell me about your experience with this. Unfortunately, I know I’m not alone here LTKMidsize LTKPlusSize LTKFindsUnder50
