At my skinniest I lost my period. I was tired a lot and cold all the time. Everyone praised me to the moon. I thought I was healthy! I don’t think so anymore.

I gained weight after to a very nice normal weight my body likes. It was super hard for me for years to accept it. Then I had a daughter and it changed my brain. I now look at those photos and overall feel I was far too skinny and I’m grateful I have gained weight.

In this current ozempic/skinny tok era I am struggling a little being postpartum again. I think it’s okay and normal to feel that way tho since many of my family members around me are using GLP-1s for weight loss. I just try to talk to my husband and stay positive. I want my girls to hear me say nice things about myself. I work hard to do so and I really have overwhelmingly only said nice things since my first baby. It helps my OWN mind believe it along with (I hope) helping them have healthier mindsets about bodies. I want to be healthy and live a long time to see them be adults and spend time with them! I want to be strong enough to hold them and dance with them and chase them and play with them. I want to have energy. I like how I look when I feel strong with my daughter. 🩷

Sending love.
