My Mama and Danny are subjected to my constant complaining about my body (and everything else). But today I am really feeling myself. So, I am going to celebrate it by showing it off and not complain for the next 24 hours. 🙃 • • • • • #LA #losangeles #pheenixpeterson #putyourarmuptolookskinnier #yeahright #beachbody #everybodyisbeatiful #everybodyisflawless #everybodyisabeachbody

Throwing it back to 2007, when we thought it was a good idea to take a picture in the bathroom of a bar 😅 I remember this night so well. I never took my coat off because I was so uncomfortable. College me had such low self-esteem, it was so sad. I'm so happy that even though I'm heavier now, I love my body and everything it does for me. #effyourbeautystandards #everybodyisbeatiful

So posting this picture is actually quite terrifying for me, but I’m remembering that #bodypositivity isn’t just for the mornings when I’ve woken with a flatter stomach, or when I’m feeling good about myself. It’s a concept that encompasses all of everyday life regardless of the time of day.

I have to admit that I took another photo before this one, but hated it which is why I took another, and that is also why I should be posting the original photo, but I’m not brave enough 🙈 It’s a journey though, and one I am committed to following through to the end so I’m not going to give up. I’m going to continue to learn to love my body for all its beauty and imperfections. THIS is what my stomach looks like after I have eaten PROPERLY throughout the day. I have listened to my body at every opportunity and respected it enough to give it what it needed. This is what my belly looks like after ordering in Dominos to the flat with my best friends and eating and watching Batman. This is what my belly looks like after eating slices of pizza until I felt full rather than stopping once I ate an ‘appropriate’ 'allowed’ amount. This is what my belly looks like after helping myself to a couple of handfuls of peanut m&ms even though I was fairly full just because I fancied some sweetness and the peanut ones are the ones I really like.

Yes my belly expands and my torso widens, yes I have a muffin top (which is MUCH more obvious in the other photo), yes I have rolls and zero definition, but damn I am still beautiful and worthy. There is laughter and joy in that wideness, it was happiness and love that caused my belly to expand, and it makes me no different to the way I am in the mornings when I’ve just woken and my body has worked to digest my food overnight.

#bopo applies to everyONE, everyTIME, everyWHERE. #everybodyisbeatiful #embracethesquish Don’t you forget that 😘❤

These are my thighs. Thighs that I have berated, hated and resented. I have felt embarrassed by them, covered them up, and allowed them to dictate the way I felt about myself. NO MORE. My thighs are beautiful, wonderful, magnificent. They allow me to walk everyday, climb stairs, run, function and generally live my life. They've been a variety of sizes, but their worth hasn't changed throughout regardless of what my mind has told me. I am not spending anymore of my life worrying about the size of my body. It's not going to happen overnight and my body is going to continue to change as my life takes me on whatever journey is in store for me, but I am determined to love my body in the same way I love others. My purpose in life is so much more, and so is yours. Let's realise our potential and realise that we do not. need. to. change. our. bodies. #bopo #embracethesquish #everybodyisbeatiful

Today I picked up these two #chocolate bars and my sister and I shared them over a cup of tea. I wish I could say it was completely ‘normal’, but it was still an 'event’ in my mind. The fact that I am posting about it proves exactly that 😂 but boy am I further than I was.

I picked up my old laptop from my sister today and looking through all my files and clearing through all the junk was a real reality check. I haven’t been on that laptop since 2014, and my life was so different back then. I had SO MANY pictures of food. So many folders, broken down into categories; breakfast, lunch, dinner, snacks, packed lunch, etc. I even had a folder dedicated to my very occasional Indian takeaways - that’s how much of a big deal it was to me… I also have a folder dedicated to my 'progress’ something I am yet to delete, but I most definitely will. I have one specific set of photos that are horrible, but looking at them even now I still thought 'I wasn’t that thin, I could have been thinner’. That is how sick my ED is, that is how toxic anorexia is, it’s terrifying. I came to a startling realisation as I was scrolling through photos, seeing myself at various weights and sizes… Maybe my WEIGHT isn’t the issue here? Of course I know that, but have I really KNOWN that? I was miserable at my highest weight, I hit scary lows whilst in the midst of an extreme binge/starve cycle, but was I any happier when I was 60lb lighter? I think we all know the answer to that.

Gosh I am sick of it all and now enough is enough. Sure my ED will always be with me, but it doesn’t have to take up space. I am choosing to love my body and I am determined to FINALLY start treating it right. I’m not completely on board with potential weight gain, and I am scared of those uncertainties, but I am on this path. I am diving in, I am immersing myself in #bodypositivity and #healthateverysize and I am going to love my body and love myself because I need it and damn I deserve it. The time is now and I am embracing it all with an open heart ❤️ #everybodyisbeatiful and that includes mine

There is power in authenticity. In a world where society adds so much pressure on people to look a certain way, it is tough when you don't fit those expectations. However, the minute you learn that you do not need to hold any stock in the opinions of others, life becomes a LOT more liberating. Bodies are unique and regardless of how you look you are worthy of love, respect and kindness. You do not need to change or alter your body to conform to societal pressure. You deserve the right to be unapologetically yourself without having to prove your worth. Your body is not the definition of who you are as a person. Stand in your own power and do you! 👙 : @fandfclothing #allbodiesaregoodbodies #everybodyisabikinibody #everybodyisbeatiful #selflovebringsbeauty #stretchies #stretchmarks #vitiligo #autoimmunedisease #smile #fandfclothing #bareface #doyou #unapologeticallyme (at Sotira, Famagusta) https://www.instagram.com/p/CUbEAYFql9u/?utm_medium=tumblr
