SO many people strive for perfection, never find it, and beat themselves up over it. We see women and even young girls trying so hard to be like the girl on the cover of magazines, starving themselves or OVER working out. This is NOT how you do it, and you should never strive for perfection. Strive for loving yourself. For feeling comfortable in your skin. For rocking that bikini or cute top. For feeling healthier. For having more vibrant skin. I have never had a perfect bod...y by any means, but there was a time that I loved my body before I was pregnant. Afterwards, not so much. I felt overweight, ugly, out of shape, and ashamed. I hid myself, even from my own fiancé, which definitely took a toll on our relationship. I began to shrink inside myself more every day.
Long story short, I found myself! I started working out and eating the food my body needed. The weight started coming off, and my personality grew again! I am NOWHERE near perfect and am not even back at my pre pregnancy body, BUT I love myself again! I don't have abs or chiseled biceps, but I have cute curves and a flatter tummy that I did. I am NOT perfect, but I love me.
