Thigh gap?

I am all about female empowerment.
I am woman...hear me roar!
Right...anyways... While scrolling through Facebook, I came across a video from the Ellen show and it was Ellen and a model, Robyn Lawley, talking about how she was criticized for being a size 12 model without a thigh gap.

After listening to Robyn talk about how she loves her body and how she loves her hips, it made me realize that I too don't need a "thigh gap". I used to dream of one...but then I realized I absolutely LOVE delicious food and beer. Justin and I both do. That's what we enjoy doing together...we love good beer and good food. And he loves me for the way I am....without a thigh gap.
I think women need to love their body more.
I will be the first one to admit that I am a little more overweight than I'd like to be. But I am so incredibly lucky to have a husband that loves my body for what it is.
We have been getting ready for our cruise this coming week and I really don't think I should wear a bikini but Justin told me that if I even thought about getting a 1 piece of a tankini, he wouldn't be caught dead with me. Bless him.
After checking out some of these gorgeous, non size two women, I feel a little better about strutting around the Bahamas in a two piece.

Robyn Lawley is gorgeous no matter what size she is!

Robyn, again.

Another one of my favorite "curvy" models, Whitney Thompson.

Laura Catterall is gorgeous!

I remember this time last year, I was stressing SO badly about losing weight before my wedding. I didn't feel that a "thick" bride would make a beautiful bride. After much self conflict, I finally realized that everyone that would attend my wedding was already used to my not-so-skinny self. I sucked it up and enjoyed all of the festivities and the food and realized that I am who I am.

I wish all women would accept who they are. I do believe that being healthy is key though. I just wish women would stop putting themselves and others down. We need to lift each other up. 

Now, back to dreaming of delicious pumpkin beer for tonight!
