In reply to Katie Clark. Thank YOU, Katie! It definitely takes time and a lot of effort to make the change and have positive things come out of your mouth naturally. But you can absolutely do it because you're beautiful, too!!!

In reply to Tiffany. YES! It's so true! 145 pounds can look so different on people based on their height or body structure or so many other things. The number doesn't matter!!!

In reply to Megan L.. Thanks, Megan! It really is so hard, but the only one who can decide to make a change in our perception of ourselves is us! You're a total babe and you should be so proud of your body and the three BEAUTIFUL children it created!!!

Thank you for this post. If I weren’t taking a social media break right now, I’d totally share it! 😉 I struggle so much with how much my body has changed after having babies, especially my last one. As he approaches a year old, it’s so easy for me to beat myself up for not losing more of my “baby weight.” Gosh, I’m crying again. Obviously I still have a long way to go towards body acceptance. I LOVE what you said: “You’re never going to love your body unless you decide to love your body.” That is SO true and SO powerful. Thank you again for sharing your story and being so encouraging!

So glad you feel comfortable enough to share your story Chelsea. I was the same way growing up, tall with a high metabolism. Having kids changes us so much. As long as we’re making healthy food and lifestyle choices it really doesn’t matter what the scale says.

Thanks for being vulnerable and sharing your story. This post made me cry. I’ve always struggled with my weight and body image, and it’s something I have to make a conscious effort not to say bad things about. I don’t have girls, but I don’t want my boys to grow up hearing me say bad things about my body. You are beautiful! Love that you are sharing this with others.
