I've struggled with my weight since middle school. I always tore myself down because I didn't know where I was gaining it from. I played basketball and volleyball and even out of season I was doing conditioning for sports, yet my weight never went down. I used to compare myself to other girls wish I had their body, just to be somewhat thin. Here recently I've started taking vitamins and changing my diet just a tad bit. I have not dropped any weight at all but I've finally came to the realization that you don't have to be thin to love your body. Gaining self confidence and learning to love and care for your body is more important than your body image. Be proud of your stretch marks, cellulite, muffin top, don't let anyone discourage you. Love you for you! In honor of gaining some self confidence, I'm sharing a picture. And I would love for all the lovely ladies to share a photo of too. Spread self confidence through your body and be proud of what you own!
