Finding Worthiness Where You Are

 

Body image is a topic I battle with talking about. It has intersected with my motherhood, as many things do. Which causes me to bring all things to light.

 

I constantly task myself to show up, get in the pictures, and join in the activities. My kids aren't going to pause growth while I learn to love myself in new forms. Growing up I needed to see that worthiness wasn't reserved for ten pounds lighter.

 

I told myself this postpartum stage I wouldn't hide away until I reached my goal. I'm proving to myself that worthiness is wherever I am.

 

That does not mean it’s easy.

I didn’t make this post to cry about my extra weight or how challenging fitness goals are for me. I just made it to say this in between stage is so difficult.

I just keep showing up because I think we all have needed that at some point.

Some days I want to just give up because results aren't showing. Some days the insecurities become background noise to the joy created by accepting this in between. I've decided to heal my mindset, or I will always have a sense of lack.
