Today’s self care tip : Unfollow any account on instagram that makes you feel like you need to be someone else. That makes you feel like your healthy , strong, capable body needs to be smaller or less. It’s time we call the shots on our health and versions of beauty 💗
Don’t ever let them tell you that your softness isn’t powerful too 🌸💪🏽☺️ #noretouching #bodylove #strongisbeautiful
Why is it that the surf industry is almost the last remaining industry to showcase a diversity of sizes? And absolutely the last sports brands to do so? Seeing as athletes come in ALL shapes and sizes, and the momentum other companies have had with promoting diversity and making a difference for women....it seems silly at this point... ___________________________________________________ I scroll through their websites and Instagram feeds and it’s the same size 2/4 body type used in all of their ads I’ve seen since I was 10 years old. I want to be clear, there is nothing wrong with that body type, as it is beautiful and necessary in ads for other like-sized women to relate to. But what happens to the rest of us who have never been represented, and can’t tell by ANY stretch of the imagination how that bikini or wetsuit would look on our body types ?! _____________________________________________________ I can fit in their Larges and mostly XLs and the wetsuits. So why do they make those sizes?! They carry those sizes because they want women to buy their product, yet don’t use those body types to model that product ?! To me that says our bodies are good enough to purchase your product but not “good” enough to model them and represent your brand. ________________________________________________________ If we open up these markets and showcase other versions of athleticism and beauty, it would change the way so many athletic women and female surfers view their bodies! It would open a market up to a whole other set of women who would then feel related to and compelled to buy your product because they would be able to SEE and KNOW it would fit them too!! __________________________________________________ It’s time to open up your idea of beauty and athleticism surf industry!! Female surfers and athletes do not only come as ripped and lean and under a size 6, we also come as built, sturdy, soft, full, thick. All versions of HEALTHY !! These huge surf companies have the chance to make a real difference for female athletes/surfers self esteem, self love, body acceptance, and empowerment. Let’s push them to do so . With LOVE 💗🏄🏼‍♀️👙
Already begun my countdown to when I’ll be back in my happiest of places!! Desert, dirt, heat and waves😁🌵🌞
I took this photo a few months ago in Hawaii. Which means all day in a bikini and showing off my body which can be a trigger for old ways of thinking. I was surfing for hours a day and working out and not being rigid on any diet. I was just BEING, in my happy place. No anxiety about my body or what I looked like. _____________________ I remember just seeing myself in the mirror and having this “ah hah” moment. So I took a picture 🤣 I thought “NO SHIT, that voice that has always picked myself apart really does just fade away one day when you do the work! This is just ME in the raw. No makeup or posing, boxer shorts and a top that doesn’t push my boobs together. “ ______________________ I felt strong and healthy and at peace with my body in a way I had never experienced. And that’s the thing with recovering from an eating disorder and a lifetime of body shaming...The phases of FULL body acceptance, they just keep progressing when you do the work, when you change your thinking, when you commit everyday to that same thought. _______________________ It’s not overnight, it’s years in the making. But it’s SOOO worth it. You begin to love and accept yourself in new ways you never thought possible. Your body isn’t what changes, it’s your mind and thinking. And your whole world opens up to new ways of letting love in, and enjoying life the way it should be. At peace with yourself 💗
I’ve had quite a few messages relating to what your stomach “should” look like when your doing sit ups. WELL I got you girls, here it is!! It ain’t flat, and it definitely doesn’t look like the ripped greased up ab photos you see in the athletic advertisements! ____________________ And that’s the problem, because THIS is normal. THIS is the stomach of a strong, extremely capable athlete, and a million other healthy women out there !! Don’t let advertisements fool you or shame you into thinking your stomach is wrong because it rolls when you sit up and breathe out. Or like you need to starve yourself in order to attain that “flat stomach” look. _____________________ We are women with soft parts of our bodies exactly where they are meant to be! Our bodies have a million different angles and looks in different positions and all of them are totally natural, normal and HEALTHY 💗 💪🏽😚
