I turned 32 on Valentine’s Day and been struggling with my body imagine. After two baby loss I let myself go and gained a lot of weight. I finally told myself, no matter what the scale say, I’m going to love me. It takes a lot of positive self talk to walk out of the house looking like this yesterday but I did it. I’m going back to the gym to be healthy while learning to be ok with my new body.

I’m Asian and I was always considered slim thick or petite to others but to family in my culture I was always too curvy, my skin too dark or not small enough. It’s imbedded in my brain and I’m ready to rewire my negative thoughts about myself by replacing it with positive thoughts of me and wearing clothes I think are cute even tho I’m uncomfortable.

Sitting pretty at 32.
