No guardes las cosas para una “ocasion especial.” Estar vivo hoy es la ocasion especial💛
I thought about posting this picture for the last couple of weeks but I kept putting it off. It’s funny because you’d think that being on your journey for a while, you’d eventually stop being so self conscious about your body. But it just comes to show that the work is never finished. Something I’ve always been insecure about are my arms and belly. So much so that I put off buying tanks and crop tops for the longest time. And when I did get the guts to purchase them, I’d save them for when I FINALLY felt good in them. Now I look back at myself and I’m like, “ I looked so good!” What the heck was I so self conscious about?
Point is! I’ve gotten over that little bump and have learned to love my body scars, bumps, cellulite, lonjitas and all ( always striving to be at my healthiest and strongest). But every now and then my mind lingers back to the insecurities I had when I first started my journey. It takes me back to buying clothes I love and then storing it for months because I just didn’t feel comfortable showing my body off that way, and it keeps me from posting pictures where I feel at my best. But today I saw this quite and it made me reflect. I’ve finally decided to post it! Not because it’s perfect but because it’s me living for today, loving the body I’m in and working to find progress and not perfection.
Quit allowing your mind to put off living, wearing, sharing who you are! Shut out the stories you’ve fought so hard to change and live that moment! Don’t wait for a special occasion. Being here, alive right now, is the special moment💛
