#mybodydeclaration:

I love that my legs are larger because they allow me to walk, run and play soccer (the sport that I have always loved!!)! I wish I knew that my larger quadricep muscle group was not a negative feature of my body growing up, but rather such an important role as a soccer midfielder in varsity soccer. My hope is that other young girls can know that now and love their own bodies just how they are and not attempt to change them to fit societies 'ideal'! 

​I love my arms because they can hold my sons!


I love my body because it grew and fed 2 children, then went on to run a half marathon. Also I have an adorable mole on my right foot that makes me smile.

I value my body because it carries my spirit!

I love my hips because they help me become the world's best worst dancer.


For the very first time my life I do not judge my body or compare myself to other women's bodies. I finally got to the point where I accept that I have a healthy body.

I love my healthy butt because I can shake it and feel good.

I value my stretch marks because they make me different from society's standard.


I love my legs because the let me enjoy hikes up Kennesaw Mountain.

I love my body because it's strong and healthy enough to nourish and grow a child that I am now able to carry, toss in the air, and chase around.

I love my body because I am optimistic and strong.

I am thankful for my legs because they are strong and allow me to do all sorts of adventurous things!

I love my caramel colored skin tone!


I love my body's resilience, because after all of the destruction I put it through, I have now been in recovery for over 20 years, and I'm grateful that it still works!



I love that my body is mine. It lets me do amazing things like hug those I love and think for myself. I love that my body has curves and I look like a real woman!


I love the curves that God blessed me with.

I love my body because it lets me do the things I love
