This weekend my mom and I had a long talk about accepting our bellies.
My mom was barely 100 pounds until her mid thirties but she never had a flat tummy.
I was bigger than my mom by 6th grade and I've had a pooch ever since.

Id never told my mom before that I'd realized my obsession with hiding my tummy and being insecure about it came from her.
She lives with my nieces now and how will they believe us when we tell them their bodies are beautiful if they know we don't even think that about ourselves

I told her "mom why try to hide your tummy? You still know it's there & so does everyone else!"
I told her I used to live my life tryin to hide my tummy like a pregnant actress in a sitcom... Strategically holding sweaters, carrying a large purse, trying to hide it behind plants

It was ridiculous and it wasn't making me happy.
It might be a long hard journey but we should love and accept our bodies as they are. I don't want to be in my 50s still trying to hide behind plants lol
