"I struggle to embrace the way my body carries extra weight in my face, belly and upper body in general. I am learning to accept and be at peace and embrace that my body is capable of that kind of change to expand and grow and keep me alive when doing so.

But one thing I have always been proud of are my legs. I've always been the bigger friend and have had thicker thighs than most, but I love that. I love it because they are STRONG. They are solid. They are sexy. They give me shape and life. They've lived through years of physical training through dance and sports.

But what I love most is that everything I've put my body through and all that it has endured it continues to support and love me unconditionally.

Just over hear still learning to love my body as much as it loves me ❤"
