I love my body!

Guess what, Carly? I’m writing this whilst I’m listening to your chat with Carol Duncan. You did AWESOME, babe!
Anyway, apart from that personal shout out right there, I have an important post to make. Important because it’s not all about me for once, but about something really important. I heart my body 2010. (Ok, I lied. It is all about me, but in a really good way.)
Carly, the wonderful creator and owner of WeHeartLife.com shared a post with us last week, it was about her experience shooting an article for an Australian girls magazine and how it had affected her self confidence and her view of her own body. Now because Carly is cool and such a beautiful person (seriously, go check her out, she’s beautiful inside and out!) she has asked us to help her support body love all across the internet.
So here’s what I love about my body.
My long legs. Seriously, don’t know where they came from, because I’m from a family of short-arses, but I seem to have developed some serious Giselle Bundchen style pins. I will never complain about them and in fact, I’m usually shoving them in people’s faces anyway, because I can’t help but to show them off.
My booby-doos. They might be small but they’re mighty. Remember what Shakira said, people. People definitely wouldn’t confuse mine with mountains, but damn, I love them.
My tummy. When I moved out at 18, I put on a lot of weight and lost said weight about a year later. My tummy has a few stretch marks, but they’re just reminders of why I don’t eat KFC every day now.
I wanted to share a semi-nude photo with you all, but I chickened out in the end, but you do get this nice one which seems to show off all three points above!
Happy “I love my body” day!

Great photo!
And great post.
I loved Carly’s idea but I couldn’t participate.
I’m not ‘there’ at the moment.
Not feeling any love at all.

I notic that you don’t actually complain about your stretchmarks, rather see them as a reminder as to why you are taking care of your body. Good on you! And yes, KFC .. smells so good, treats you so mean! I always feel sick after eating it
And, being from a familiar with a history of big, short arses, I am jealous of your defiance of the gene pool! LOL

Love it! You are gorgeous! Truly a gorgeous person inside + out! Be proud of yourself and thank you xx
{Thea, unfortunately, this was the whole idea of it x to love your body no matter what, knowing that you dont have to change something to be happy xx Hopefully you’ll “get” there soon x plus I’ve been there, so I know exactly what you are saying!}

You have great pins for sure! And a lovely decollage (I think that’s what they call it!).
