In the last few years having other NS issues to worry about has made my scars less of a major issue to me. Like I always say I'm pretty proud of them, I guess my feelings on celebrating the female form and what we are capable of has meant I've had to make my peace with my body, but I have to say I feel a lot better for it. Over the last few years I've had my battles with my body image whether its been the weight gain of steroids, the chubby moon face, the hair loss and bruising I've been pretty low, but once I decided that my body was mine and if I wanted to feel good it had to be for myself and not anyone else, By not appealing to unrealistic beauty standards that were really damaging to me at that point.
Might have a little chub and a load of scars but trying to be proud of it all |
I have to say a huge thank you to the wonderful reactions I got to sharing my photos, makes me realise its worth sharing things that I normally wouldn't if its going to raise awareness. All the love for my scars makes me more confident than ever and I hope other people realise they should be proud of they bodies. I'm embracing mine, scars and all!
