Good Friday #581: Insecure (Friday, February 16)

There are people that I think are gorgeous; who have amazing bodies; are super confident. And then I speak to them and they have insecurities that surprise me (such as one of my flawless friends who thinks her head is too big. Erm, what??)

The point is, we all have insecurities. You can either let them defeat you, or embrace them. I love this story:

F L A W S A N D A L L I wanted so badly to edit these pictures. They still make me itch a little bit. I've always worn high waisted everything and felt self conscious about my stomach because fat and stretch marks and the whole 9. It's funny because I've never not been able to attract a "hot man" and none of them have ever made me feel less than sexy in the flesh. Slowly I began to question why I had this insane issue with my body and how it looks. I'm in the gym trying to get healthier everyday but that doesn't mean I can't love who I am right now right? I will probably always have stretch marks so I've decided to get used to it and to love myself just a little more. I've decided to give up negative thinking for lent (and red meat 😢). That includes being kinder to myself and the reflection i see in the mirror. I've had this swim suit for years and I've never worn it. I feel great today 😘 even beside my hot body sista who I love to pieces #happyvalentinesday
