This woman’s body positive ode to her tummy on Instagram is everything and more
We can all always use a little more good, body positive vibes in our lives. Well, more like a lot. Nothing makes us happier than a body-positive Instagrammer, and we’re so pleased that body positivity has swept ~the net~ with such success. One Instagrammer is @plankingforpizza, aka Jess, certified life coach and all around amazing person. With nearly 130,000 followers and a thousands of likes on every photo, Jess is quite the force on Instagram, and we couldn’t love her more. And after you read this AH-MAZING body positive tummy piece she shared, you’ll love her too.
Jess wrote,
"I have never really been striving for a 6 pack, but I have always wanted a flat stomach and I'm far from there. And you know what? I might never have one!! And that is ok. Because the flatness of my stomach doesn't define my worth."
Like, heck yeah, lady! She continued, saying,
"My thoughts, words, actions, character, personality, kindness, etc... That is what defines me! So many people remark on my confidence, and let me tell you I'm really not that confident in my appearances (I'm doing a Vlog on this next weekend 😏). But I have abandoned the notion that my body defines me because that's far from my authentic truth."
We’re seriously tearing up over here, and cheering like no other. We have all of the feels, you guys.
"I wish I could go back and tell my younger self all this because my life would be SO different if I hadn't been so insecure in what my body looked like and how I let that hinder me. But I can't do that, so all I can do is continue fighting for the girl that once was, so that I can become all that I'm meant to be."
And the final cheering goes out to this beautiful ending. She said,
"And just because I accept myself today, doesn't mean I'm not still striving to better myself. Even when I reach my body goals, I'll never stop striving to improve who I am on the inside as an imperfect being 💕✨"
HOW AMAZING IS SHE? So amazing. Seriously, we’re so grateful to this body positive ode, and we’re gonna re-visit it whenever we’re being mean to our own tums. Because all tummies are good tummies.
