With Love to My Belly

This is quite a vulnerable photo for me but it feels right to post. I struggle with how my body has changed in the last few years as I’ve gained weight most of which has landed in my belly. I don’t often see full photos of my body so I’m still not fully used to how it looks. There still are not a ton of positive depictions of fat people (femmes in particular) in mainstream media. Over the past several years I have also made a concerted effort to curate my social media to include more diversity, including larger bodies. It has certainly  helped my own self image to an extent, but I still have a way to go.

With that in mind I hold space with love and compassion for my body image journey (and yours).
