A Friendly Reminder
I was reminded of two things the other day after taking these photos. But before I share, I first want to say that I’m not claiming that I look any type of way in either photo; it’s just that the contrast of the two, taken in such a short time from each other, really stood out to me and made me think.
On the left: I had just woken up from sleeping all day between night shifts, I was hungry, and I happened to stumble on some really good lighting when showing a friend the colour of my new bra.
On the right: literally 25 minutes later and with a delicious breakfast in my belly.
Now, I’m not typically one to take selfies (and definitely not post them!) but it really made me think when my friend replied with a comment on how my body looked. It made me feel guilty because I know that photo wasn’t an accurate representation of how I typically look, so I took another, maybe more accurate, one.
Lesson #1
Your body changes a lot throughout each day, so don’t let it set the tone for how you feel about yourself.
Lesson #2
No one looks “perfect” (I say that with an eye roll) all the time. You can scroll through your insta and see photo after photo of people looking ripped/toned/skinny/whateveryo
