Self Love Is The True Transformation
Summer is now one of my favs! But that wasn't always the case. I remember hating it because it would get too hot for me and I refused to go outside the house with anything but a sweater. I wasn't confident enough or felt comfortable in my own skin to even wear a t-shirt forget about a tank top. I would end up wearing sweaters in the middle of summer to cover up my belly and arms. Every once in a while I would be out in a t-shirt but they were baggy and I always had a sweater close by for a quick cover up. I thought I was covering myself up well but as you can see it is written all over my face that I was not covering anything up. People would think I was crazy for wearing a big sweater in the middle of summer (and I was but they didn't understand why I was doing it...I was sweating to death but said things like "oh there is a cool breeze" which was rarely ever the case). I did it because... **I was uncomfortable. **I was over weight. **I was unhealthy. **And I didn't like what I saw when I looked in the mirror.
Today, I soak up summer and cannot get enough of it. I've not only changed physically but also have gained self love for myself and my body. The physical change was the easier part for me but the self love is the change that mattered more to me. Today... **I am comfortable. **I am not over weight. **I am healthy. **And I love what I see in the mirror.
I see a strong woman both physically and mentally and I see the person that I use to only dream about being. It's all thanks to me creating my future for myself rather than wishing for it.
