This is a body-appreciation post.
Today I am laying in bed embracing my body.
I’ve always felt very insecure about my body, as most people do. I used to lay in bed like this for hours scrutinizing myself. I would pull the skin on my inner thighs to try to even out the stretch marks. I would try to suck in my stomach and ponder ways to hide all the fuzzies that cover it. I would cup my breasts and push them together to see how they’d look if they were perkier. I still do that sometimes, but today I felt like loving the body I have. I know I’m thick, but today I’m enjoying it.
Everyone should love their bodies…even if it’s just for a day. We all should take the time to wrap our arms around ourselves, feel the uneven parts of our skin, pinch the extra fluff we may have, and trace all the curves that shape us.
I know there are people from school who follow me and might think that it’s awkward or crude that I’m posting pictures of my body. In fact, I know I have followers who think that, whether they go to my school or not. I would just like to remind you all that you have bodies too. Peek under your shirt. Do you see nipples? Maybe you see a happy trail. Maybe you see a muffin top, or a flat chest. Maybe all you see is boobs. Just remember that underneath all those man-made fabrics is your true clothing, because your body is the suit that dresses your soul.
Yay!
Tummy love. :D
I can’t wait to wear all my cute swim suits this summer and not give a fuck.
eeeeeeeeeeeeeeeek~ :3
Hi, I’m Melissa. I wear a size 14-16 and T-shirt size L. I have been a bigger sized person than others since I was in middle school. Now graduating in less than a week, as a grown woman….(18 of course) I have came to realize that I should love myself, and what is on my body. I should know not to worry about what others might think of me, or how I should look. I learned that being bigger doesn’t mean you’re not beautiful. Because growing up and being in past relationships, I was treated like complete shit. I was told that I am not cute or even worth anything unless I am a smaller frame. I was even told after losing my virginity to a guy, that he wanted me “smaller”. That I should work on my figure…and I actually listened to him and decided to try and get smaller….well I did…but I am still the same size as I was since I was 14. I will always be a bigger girl than others….but putting you down is something you shouldn’t stand. You should tell them to go fuck themselves, because all of you that actually submits things, are amazingly beautiful people. I am glad I found this blog, and I am glad the person who created this blog made the time to come across my stuff or other people’s and blog it for the world to see. I’m Melissa. I’m a big girl. I always will be.
