Try it on Tuesday!

Ladies! I am so excited to be adding this to my posting lineup! Let me get started by saying that body positivity is so important. As a mom, I have shyed away from the camera but have realized I NEED to be in more pictures! Starting this blog and using social media as a platform to share my content has been a huge learning curve for me, and it has really brought to light some of the insecurities that I have. I think every woman, no matter what the size, all have those feelings that pop when you least expect them.

After having Edith, our daughter, my body has definitely changed. Postpartum, I was diagnosed with hypothyroid, which has resulted in weight gain. Although not something I can control, and medication has started to help balance my body back out, I am still not comfortable in my own skin. I follow a lot of awesome bloggers that do try-ons and I love their content, but the reality is that I can’t wear a lot of the stuff that they show. I am not a size 2 people – haven’t been since high school. And I’m not saying I want to be a size 2, and I’m not saying size 2 isn’t beautiful… I believe we’re all beautiful.

I’ve made it a goal that I am going to be more kind and gentle on myself. That I need to start loving my body for where I am now, and not holding out to be the size I was a couple years ago. I am finally going to get all those clothes out of my closet that don’t fit anymore. I’ve been holding onto that dream that one day they might fit me again — NOT ANYMORE. I am going to start buying clothes that FIT my body and that I feel good in. I’m on a budget and today I had so much fun going into Target where clothes are really affordable, stylish and come in the sizes I need!

This blog post has been hard to write, because it makes me feel vulnerable and not good enough. I know that there are so many other women out there that can relate and I want to show them that we can take control and that we’ve GOT THIS.
