This weekend I did a boudoir photoshoot for my husband for our 2 year anniversary and I went out with friends and put on the tightest dress I owned!
The realization came to me after looking at some of my pictures (before editing)..that I am really screwed up. The pictures were beautiful but they still didn't look the way "I had imagined". Now, I had been sticking to my keto religiously despite my lazy start and so when I did this shoot I was down 15 lbs and 1 whole size. Great, right?
Well, I knew I looked better in person but I just looked at those pics and felt like a fat blob of flesh covered in stretch marks. And yet, at the same time I saw a really pretty girl. Immediately, I couldn't help but feel really sorry for her.
I resolved that day to cut the crap. I told myself, "I'm freakin' gorgeous and one of the strongest people I know. I'm going to slay while I'm out with my girls tonight regardless of whether they are skinnier than me." That is exactly what I did. I did my makeup, got my nails done and I owned it. I made sure I was confident in my walk and in my talk. I didn't compare myself to one person and think "I wish...". If anything, I said "I will.." Because I can do anything I put my mind to and I got #goals. My perception of me will no longer be an obstacle for me. I now know that no one can get in my way, not even myself.
Thanks KETO.
