Hi loves! I am going to get to the point pretty quickly today because it has been on my mind so much these past few days. I am someone who is very strong & athletic but I am also big-boned. I have always had a more broad structure, even since I was a child. I don't have the build that a lot of girls do. For instance, I don't have a thigh gap, a tiny rib cage, etc. I always let that get to me and wanted to change the way I looked for the reason that I didn't look like those other tiny girls. No matter how hard I worked, I never was small and super skinny. When I became a teen and my body started changing, I grew and gained weight over time. I was never fat but I gained weight from when I was 13, obviously. It ate me up in high school that I was a little bigger than most of the girls, not fatter, just bigger. That beat me up inside because I always hated the way I looked. But once I realized I will never look like them, I started to feel better. My body is built differently, I am built to be strong, athletic, and tall, which I am. I don't need to be super tiny to be pretty, my body is perfect the way it is, and so is yours. It's hard to remember it 25/8 because your body fluctuates so much every day seeing any fat on your body can be hard. For me, my stomach and my thighs are my insecurity but I have a super strong core and quads and even though I have some fat, I am still healthy and in shape. Being in shape and healthy doesn't mean zero body fat and an 8 pack, it means feeling good and healthy in your own skin and being able to work out in any kind of way.
To wrap this up, everybody's body is built differently. I am not built like some of my friends which is perfectly ok. I am built the way I am meant to be built and my body does wonderful things for me. While I am writing this, I am trying to believe it because today has been hard on my body but I am learning to love it, all of it.
