My husband says I suffer from “ugly ducking syndrome.” He says I’m gorgeous but also very down to earth because I wasn’t worshiped for being beautiful when I was younger. I’d like to believe that even if I hadn’t been a pudgy kid with a rocky childhood that I’d care about everyone as much as I do now, but all that really matters is what IS.
Balance is a main focus in my life. I was aiming to write a more informative article instead of something so personal, but it came out the way it did for a reason so I hope you read with care.

I loved this Jessica, I so agree it’s about finding your own ideal of fit and healthy rather than attempting to go from one extreme to the other. I can relate to this deeply thank you 😊
I’m so glad you enjoyed it. There are so many people who struggle and I know how that feels. IDK why but I also think sharing about it helps us all learn from each other haha
Absolutely! It’s very healing for me to see that us women all essentially feel the same way about ourselves, there’s no coincidence with that, we are brought up and shown by culture the myriad ways to hate ourselves, you are courageous for showing your daughter how to be loving to herself. I wish my mum did that for me, now I try and do it for myself 💜🤗
