Doing a photo shoot today! my first!
So I've shared personal things bout my struggle with weight because I find its empowering, not only for myself, but those around me. So shit, here it is.
BEAUTIFUL THING IS.......
I remember having been at a point where the doctor was actually concerned about my weight, and at that time having been asked if I modeled? or, if would be interested in modeling? First thought in my mind {disbelief} ARE YOU serious? "Maybe if I was skinnier!!!
... because truly it wasn't about the weight..it was about seeing the value in myself, EMBRACING ME. truly. honestly. COMPLETELY.
Anyway TODAY I'm def not at my thinnest. BUT I'M HEALTHIER. STRONGER. (Strongest I've EVER been actually! In every sense of the word) SEXIER & MORE CONFIDENT (in my own skin!)
TODAY I AM ALIVE.
Soo I'm gonna do this photo shoot, not so much as a way of saying FUCK YOU to the media & our society which tries to put women in a box, form us to a certain "mold" and shame us when we don't exactly, "fit it"...ok, maybe a lil for that ;) ...BUT I'm doing it out of: LOVE (for myself & the beautiful {DIVERSE} women around me)... GRATITUDE & respect for LIFE....and to make a statement (if even only to myself) that YES, BEAUTIFUL comes in all shapes & sizes, it IS NOT SIMPLY DEFINED...and any pre-imposed definition (of beauty, of success, of anything!)
WILL NOT DEFINE US ANYMORE.
"There is nothing more powerful than a women that recognizes HER BEAUTY"
...its time, to see your own.
