Since my new job I decided to get more
active.
When I make a decision, I never go half way. I
want to be fully prepared. With this attitude I shopped me
some necessities: swim goggles - check! swim cap - check! nose plugs -
check! swim sandals - check! I was ready to embark this new adventure.
On my way to my local gym, feeling on top of
the world, I was proud of myself for not only talking about self-acceptance. I
was actually doing something benefecial to my body. You know my
creed “wear your clothes, don’t let your clothes wear you”. It’s all about
accepting the body you have in the moment and taking care of it the best way
you know how. For me, it’s practicing what I preach.
There I was in the ladies locker room, standing in my new bathing
suit I couldn’t help but feeling a slight panic. I realized I had to walk to
the swimming pool which meant walking through the gym. It was just a couple of
meters. But still I had to walk to the pool and people could see you. I can assure I wasn’t wearing my bathing suit,
it was definitely wearing me.
A part of self and body acceptance is knowing your boundaries. You
don’t have to be a 100% confident all at once. Remember it’s a process. And
even Rome wasn’t build in a day, so why put pressure on yourself. In this situation it’s best to “think big, act
small”.
So my transitionary solution is to cover up with the help of plus size beach skirts. Or a kaftan as shown in the images
below.
Do you also have moments of insecurity about your
body?
How do you cope with it? Let me know.
