From the bottom of my heart, thank you for all the lovely compliments on my body. Posting here made me feel faint with nerves at first, but your encouragement has helped me feel more forward and comfortable in my own skin. I’m now confident enough to explore other subreddits I’ve been watching from afar. You’ve made a big difference for me

Aww you guys are seriously the sweetest.. Thank you so much for all the kind compliments, they actually made me feel a little better about my body today. I’m still pretty shy about posting these, but it means a lot.
I’ve been wanting to start working out again after having my baby… these big shoulders and smaller hips have me feeling a bit out of balance, but your words gave me a tiny boost of confidence. Baby steps, right?

A big goal for me right now is to stop being so hard on myself. I’ve always felt self-conscious about my wider shoulders compared to my smaller butt, and after having a baby my stomach feels softer than I’d like. I’m motivated to lift and grow my glutes for better balance, but I’m also choosing to be kinder, accept the natural changes, and appreciate the strong body that grew and birthed my child instead of hyper-focusing on every flaw. Here’s to progress, self-love, and the flow.
