My Favorite Body-Positive Instagrammer Has A Few Wise Words For You About Bad Sides And Bikinis

“Two years ago this suit actually fit me well, but my mind wasn’t ready for it,” Sarah explained. “So it sat.” ⁣

“And sat. ⁣And sat. ⁣Back corner floor of my closet. ⁣I’d take it out and put it on, huff and hide it away again. ⁣How dare it make me feel that way.” ⁣

“But then this week I pulled it out and something hit different. I knew it would be tight. I knew it wouldn’t fit “just right” but it wasn’t about that anymore.” ⁣

“I put it on, and actually felt… good? Or at least, not bad? ⁣The suit had sat for two years. Yet nothing about it had changed.”

“It was never the suit. It never had that power.” ⁣

“But me? I changed. ⁣I sat for two years in feelings. ⁣I marinated in them. ⁣I grew from them.” ⁣

“So that now I could put it on, not huff, not do anything, but remember exactly who I am, and then carry on with my day. ⁣Heck, I even took pics. And I felt damn good in them.”
