Recently at the beach with her family, Kirsten Bosly, of Perth, Australia wasn’t enjoying the fun on the beach with her loved ones, she felt incredibly awkward in herself. She was embarrassed and shameful about the way she looked in her bathing suit, it was a plus size and it was making her feel very stressed!
After thinking about it for many hours though, all those people at the beach looking at her, in her plus size bathing suit, she had a moment of clarity that changed her life…
Her words are now traveling far and wide online…
That very second that they returned to her home she jumped on the computer and shared her brilliant thought…
She wrote:
“Today marks a new beginning for me. For most of my life, I have hated my body. Despised it. Loathed it. Resented it. Wanted so very much for it to change; for it to be smaller, thinner… less ‘fat.’ “
“I’ve used it and abused it. I’ve blamed it for a lot of things. I’ve been terribly ashamed of its wobbles and dimples; like somehow they are the measure of who I am.”
“I recently read a meme that said something along the lines of ‘be in pictures with your kids because when you’re gone, the pictures will be all they have left’ and it struck a nerve. I’ve avoided pictures most of the time as I disliked how I looked at them.”
