I have spent my whole life trying to love myself and teaching myself to love me and it was always a difficult struggle.
My mind was tormented by self doubt and self hatred despite my best efforts.
Having had children has been a blessing in many aspects but most unexpectedly it has taught me love and gratitude for myself and my body.
I have learned many things through out my journey but learning to love myself as I am without all the fancy bells and whistles has been one of the greatest gifts.
I have learned how compassionate and kind and Caring I am,
I have found strength and courage I never knew that I was capable of.
I have seen a nurturing side and an assertive side.
I have seen a protective side and soft side.
I have also seen my body in a way I have never been able to appreciate before.
I have seen feet that have bared the load of a pregnnt belly and a growing baby.
I have seen a stomach that has housed and grown my two loves.
I have seen my breasts that have fed these 2 babies till they were ready to eat solids.
I have seen my arms carry these 2 babes together and a bag of groceries.
I can now look at my body; worth so much more then I ever gave it credit for and I can finally say I love myself totally, completely and unconditionally.
