jenbretty The picture on the left popped up on my Snapchat memories from 2 years ago and it reminded me of how I used to think that being healthy was a certain look - despite going to extremely unhealthy measures to achieve it.
I didn’t care about my health back then which so many people assume is the opposite now because “wow she gained weight, she’s lazy, she must have let herself go.”
And you’re right, I’ve let go of a lot of things like thinking that the only way to be healthy was to be small or that having to weigh your freaking lettuce was normal or that you had to workout in order to eat dinner??? I’ve had to unlearn so many toxic things but by doing so I am now truly the happiest, healthiest and most free I’ve ever been and I’m proud that I no longer need a certain physique to prove that to anyone.

I know people are gunna say there’s hardly a difference but I need to get this off my chest.
Posing vs. Standing normally.
There was a point where I was so afraid to take normal pictures or even a video of myself because I was scared I’d look different because all I’ve ever done was pose on here.
That shit was NOT healthy and as I’ve taken a step back from social media, I’ve really contemplated deleting this account because it holds so much of what I’m not anymore. From trying to look my thinnest to the thickest. Right now I want to do neither. I want to just live my life and be happy with how that looks like on me regardless if my body grows or shrinks.
And I know, first world problems, right? YES but I just don’t ever want somebody to look at my page and wish they looked like me when in reality I don’t walk around looking like thatyou’re aka twisting, arching, hip popping.
Don’t get me wrong, I love a good pose every now and then but I also want to feel confident when I’m not either. So ya, here’s hoping I can do that.
