stophatingyourbody:

Hi Everyone. My name is Lily. I have posted on here a while ago, i wanted to tell you all about the difference i have made to my life and my body. Before, I always hated my body, because all my friends were so skinny and i was always a bigger built. Since then, ive started being more open about how i felt about this, and even just talking about can make things so much better, because then people can help you. I bought my first bikini last year, and i think i look great in it. You get to realise, other people don’t care!! You may think that they are looking at you thinking “OMG LOOK AT HER!” but if you have confidence and don’t care what anyone thinks, they will be the ones admiring you-because they will be able to see just how much you love yourself. I have stretch marks-on my hips, and the insides of my legs. They are not bad ones, just from growing. But when they were first coming, i thought, oh no how am i meant to wear a bikini now? - No one noticed. Now i wear bikinis all the time! and i love it. I still have bad days, where i wish i had a different body type, or where i wish i hadn’t eaten that extra scoop of icecream, but i am healthy, im a healthy weight and i do healthy exercise. I am proud of myself for even getting this far, even if i have a bit longer to go. So if you are reading my story right now, i encourage you to do what i did-after a while baby steps turn HUGE. And it will all be worth it. Thanks so much for reading x i wish you all the love and luck in the world <3 xxxx
