Body Appreciation/resolution for New Years

Melanie • SRJC. Future Kindergarten teacher. Single
I know I'm not the only one that gets self conscious a lot. But right now, I'm slowly starting to appreciate my body. I know I'm not perfect and I cringe when I see my stretch marks. Every New Years my resolution is to get a "bikini body". Now that I think about it, anyone can be in a bikini if they want to. When I go to the beach or public swimming pool, I see all kinds of women with different body types in bikinis and honestly they look good. So I think for next year, instead of aiming for a "bikini body" for my resolution, I'll just focus on appreciating myself more and having confidence. Who cares what negative things people say? I used to, but it doesn't get to me that much anymore. I know it's early to be thinking of resolutions, but at least I know what my goal is. #bodyappreciationpost
