“Ever since adolescent years I’ve struggled with my body image and cared way too much how others perceived me. For awhile I thought being skinny was my key to being happy. Well guess what, I dropped down to a size zero at one point and still was not happy! After I had my oldest, I vowed to break the vicious cycle of toxic self talk and negative body image. I have close friends who have experienced tragic losses and would do anything to have my temporary body set backs. With every fiber of my being I am grateful to be the mother two healthy children. My children hold the key to my heart and soul. They are worth every single imperfection and stretch mark on my body. My life style now consists of healthy eating and staying active is my forever “diet” that will never crash with time.”
