The dress I wore for my besties wedding was a size 22 and I felt beautiful ❤️
The first time I lost the weight, I got down to a size 8 and I hated my body more than ever. I expected a switch to flick and suddenly love myself just because of the weight loss.
I learned the hard way, that this doesn’t happen.
Since then, I’ve spent years working on my mindset so that I am happy and confident no matter my size. I was especially firm about this during pregnancy and now, postpartum, knowing my body is going to look different.
Yes, I am losing weight and excited to get my strength and fitness back. I want to fit in all my old clothes and get up off the floor easier. BUT that doesn’t mean I can’t be confident now.
So just a reminder to not wait for happiness at a magic number or clothes size. It’s not there waiting. Work on being happy and confident DURING your journey!
