My thighs are NOT big enough!
There's a sentence I never thought I'd type!
My thighs have always been the greatest source of my insecurities. My ex used to refer to them as "Cottage Cheese Thighs," which inspired the title of book #3. I'm taking ownership of that nickname name and turning it into something positive!
My self-esteem has been linked to the scale most of my life. As my weight rose and feel between 135 and 195 pounds, my confidence did the reverse. After twenty years of obsessing over my weight, I decide to toss out the scale and focus on loving myself for all my other great attributes.
My plan worked! Maybe too well? My confidence grew as I was writing "Cottage Cheese Thighs" and I realize now that my there is NOTHING wrong with my thighs! They're thick and have a little cellulite, but that's 100% normal.
In fact, I'm now concerned I'm too fit to be effective. The purpose of this book is to retraining our brains to love our bodies, flaws and all. My body is not nearly as flawed as I thought. I'm not sure why I hated it so much because it truly is beautiful!
My photo shoot for the cover is on Saturday and I'll be wearing tiny shorts showing off my thighs for the first time in my life. I just hope they are big enough to get my point across. In the meantime, I've spent the last few weeks eating things I shouldn't and limiting my exercise. It feels incredible to simply live my life without worrying about how much I weigh!
Absolutely crazy how far I've came in the last six months! I can't wait to share my "Cottage Cheese Thighs" with the world!
