My Bikini Body

In Dubai, I finally found that confidence I had been looking
for again - I walked out in my bikini and felt both happy and healthy. I wasn't the slimmest person on the beach, but for once it didn't matter. Since getting married, I have allowed myself to enjoy food again - and not live with such tight rules. I've realised that my body isn’t naturally ‘slim or
slender’ but real. I run, I work out, and I think my body reflects that - I would find it incredibly hard not to keep fit.
I still have a small bust, and skinny arms, but my legs,
my stomach and my general physique is much more well-balanced now. I don’t look
at the photos anymore and see a little girl, I see a woman and that is what I am and want to be.
Exercise, diet and running will always remain a part of my
life – but I want to live a long term healthy lifestyle. Having experienced being both overweight and almost 'underweight' I've learnt that the only person that you need to please is yourself. You have to find the balance in life.
Being a woman is hard, but learning to love
yourself is far more harder than I ever imagined.
The photo of you on the beach looks so happy and relaxed and I think a lot of people would say that they've experienced a similar thing when it comes to body confidence, so you aren't alone and I'm glad you've found that balance between looking after yourself and enjoying your life, because that's the key thing and you look wonderful for it! :) - Tasha xxx

I wish I knew where to find that happiness. I can't seem to find the confidence and with every pound I lose, I don't seem to be getting any closer, even though my aim has always been to get smaller.
ReplyDeleteYou look brilliant here, your confidence illuminates you!

You look lovely Alice, I love reading your posts about this issue because you're always so honest. I'm probably the least happy I've ever been with my body but can't seem to find the drive to do anything to change it. xx
