I never really understood why parents tell their children in general that they are proud of them. I mean in my opinion you can only be proud of someone if that person really accomplished something that he had to work for. When I was in my last month of pregnancy I was wearing a size L while normally I was a size XS/S. In 8 months I gained 45 LBS (20 kilo). In the last 5 weeks of my pregnancy my skin burst open, which made big red and very itchy volcano stripes on my belly. At 41.3 weeks a gave birth to a beautiful baby girl (but gosh was she a chubby baby with her 9.5 pounds). A month after pregnancy I all ready lost 22 lbs, but then it stopped. I wasn't losing any weight any more and I ate normal (2 times 2 slices of bread, some fruit, dinner and desert). My belly was just a flabby tubby, as I call it, when I put my shirt in my pants the excessive skin was falling over, the scars on my belly looked awful and I F#@# hated my body.
You must know I tried to model before and I saw no future what so ever anymore in this business. I decided to take matters into my own hands and made a diet and workout plan. With dedication and hard work I will achieve my goals: ‘I will make my weakness my strength’. Rome wasn’t build in one day either.
A twenty-minute work out is part of my every day routine now; doing push ups, weights, leg exercise, butt exercise and several six-pack exercises . Now I eat 2 times one slice of bread, some fruit, big plate of dinner and desert. Desert can be something sweet. I drink some fruit juice, but mainly water flavored with a lemon or orange. In this last month I lost 4 centimeters around the belly area. At the moment I lost 40 LBS.
The pictures illustrate my story. It’s the revealing truth of what I look like with my ‘Warrior stripes’. For now I found acceptance and maybe someday I will be proud.
How do you guys experience your body image?
