"My relationship with my body has been rocky over the years. I have stretch marks and scars and blemishes all over. My stomach is far from flat and my hips are wide. The biggest issue I've had is the breadth of my shoulders. It made wedding dress shopping a complete nightmare. ⁠

Over the last 6 months I've come to love the skin I'm in. You only get one body in life, you may as well enjoy it. I've changed my goals and set myself more realistic expectations of myself. I've changed who I see as inspiration in life which has left me feeling empowered. Life is too short, eat the cake you want to!⁠"
