Being pregnant at 16 years of age was shameful enough. I'm grateful that in spite of that, God redeemed me and loved me anyway!
As a child (16 years old), I never realized the ramifications that birth would bring to my body! It simply didn't dawn on me that my belly would stretch to the extreme of making visible lines that would mark me forever.
So I deliver my beautiful 7lb 3oz baby girl, and let me tell you, she was absolutely gorgeous and worth every stretch mark! But as I got older and realized that I could no longer wear a bikini, I became very self conscious of my body. Although I am so called "thin," my body stayed covered with full bathing suits during beach time, summer time, etc!
Welp, at a whopping 42 years of age now, I can only think of my beautiful friend Maggie! This beautiful human being always told me to be comfortable in my own skin! And although it's very difficult at times, she's simply stating the truth! No one can be more beautiful in your skin than you!
This post is not the norm for me, and I'm not looking for any sympathy by no means, but I do want to encourage all of those that feel the same way! To each it's own!! If you're comfy in your skin, kudos! If you're not, it's ok! One day be Bold and be strong to do it! At least once in your life, put on a bikini! 👙😁❤️
My body isn't perfect and I thank my four beautiful daughters for it! I wouldn't change that for the world! I've been accepted by God, my amazing husband, who tells me I'm sexy (lol), and I can say that I've done absolutely NOTHING to change this body! Everything is mine! 😁 No boobs, buttocks, belly implants! No fat or cellulite removal either. No lifting weights or crunches for a firm butt etc..... Geesh the list goes on and on! Although tempted lol I have not done it. America paints pictures of what a perfect body looks like. Truth be told, there isn't a perfect body out there. Everyone has flaws.
No offense to anyone that have made changes to themselves or want too! I'm just grateful that I have life, breath, and just being fine with who God intended me to be.
All this to say, I'm on vacation in Puerto Rico and I'm not ashamed to show my motherhood scars!! I'm being brave and as my husband grabs my hand to walk to the beach, he reassured me of my own beauty that he loves! Thank you baby for always loving me in spite of my own insecurities! ❤️👙 💏💋🌊🌴💃😍
Life isn't promised today, tomorrow, or any other day. Make it count now with who you are. This is just my own testimony of being happy in my own skin ❤️ At 42 years old!
