'I gained new stretch marks for the first time since my early teens, noticed cellulite more, cried over my reflection in the mirror and felt strange in clothes.'
- among a million other things - but it has been hands down the worst year for my body confidence, which doesn’t exactly bode well when you class yourself as a body confident advocate.
Having lived my life online since I was 16, documenting everything on Instagram and my blog, it took me years to cultivate a body-positive image and I have always been open and honest with my journey to self-acceptance.
for the first time since my early teens, noticed cellulite more, cried over my reflection in the mirror and felt strange in clothes I had previously been confident in. I’ve looked at my naked body and wished it looked different, feared what anybody would think if they ever saw it , and constantly been thinking about how I can alter it to fit in with the modern world more. I guess you could say that the past 11-12 months have been complete hell for somebody who preaches about body acceptance.
See, 2020 and the lockdowns we endured really helped me and so many others cultivate huge body confidence – which is why it feels so strange to be at war with my own body once again. But with life back to normal, socialising firmly back on the agenda, bikinis to wear in the summer and the pressure to look good creeping back into our lives – women seem to be being reduced to trends once more.
