I gained some weight during the pandemic. Maybe you did, too. And as the end of life as we’ve known it for the last year and a half draws nearer, I should be getting excited about going out, dressing up and seeing friends. Instead, I’m stressing about my pandemic weight gain and what people might say when they see me. And honestly, that’s messed up.
That’s why I was so thrilled to hear of The Bodcon‘s upcoming event, The BodCon TALKS: Beach Bodies – A Virtual Pool Party. The event will tackle topics like summer body anxiety and pandemic weight gain and features incredible, real women who tell it like it is. If you’re interested in snagging a ticket for yourself, you can grab one here for the event on June 27 at 2:00p.m. ET.
When I was done, I was left with a little book about who I was, and what value I added to the world and the best part is, it didn’t matter if I was thin, or plus size—the best parts about me had absolutely nothing to do with my body, or any changes that might come.” SC: What are some things you do to help yourself embrace body positivity or neutrality and love the skin you’re in?
Dress In Ways That Make Your Heart Happy: I spent so much time hiding under baggy clothes, because I truly believed it hid the fact that I was fat. It didn’t hide anything, and all that time hiding did was create more shame around my body. When I started wearing things that made me happy I started to like parts of my body I had hidden for so long, and realized my body is NOTHING to be ashamed of.
EH: Some things I do to help myself embrace body positivity and neutrality is surrounding myself with other confident, like-minded people. I like to surround myself with others who love the skin they’re in and who never talk badly about other people’s bodies and insecurities. Also, I love to follow body positive/neutral creators online who show that they can feel beautiful and confident regardless of their size.
