after reading @lynnegetsfit’s post about finding your why I felt the need to share mine with you. if you asked me why I started this journey and why I keep going the answer would be simple - I do it for the girl in the photo, I do it for me. the girl who grew up awkwardly fitting into my limited too tops because my stomach was too big to fit them properly. the girl who heard the boys behind her call her “Boulder legs” the first time she summoned up enough courage in middle school to wear a skirt. the girl who’s ex stepdad used to tell her how big she was and that the only way Id do anything is if I got food as a reward. the girl who hated her appearance so much that she wore the same baggy sweatshirt over her clothes everyday in seventh grade. the girl who didn’t feel beautiful until she was 21 years old. I do it for the girl who thought that binging would bring her happiness. the girl that didn’t have a boyfriend in high school ever because guys would rather have her smaller friends. that was too scared to wear tank tops or shorts. the girl who would try on bikinis in the fitting room and break down when she saw the way she looked in them. I do it for the girl who looked in the mirror and wished with every ounce of her body that she could be someone else. I do for myself and because of it I fell in love with myself. 💕
