When I say I ripped the ENTIRE ass out of my pants... ππ€£
My former self would have immediately jumped to shaming and blaming my body, my nutrition, my "fitness."
But TODAY... I responded differently. After shouting OH S**T and expressing a little gratitude to the ripped pant goddess that I wasn't out in public when this occurred (π€£), I removed the pants, snapped this pic and tossed them in the trash. I put on another pair and went on with my day.
Now, I've worked on my own body image long enough to know it's a practice. I may not have it in me to respond this way next time, but today, I did. And so... I'ma clap for my damn self. ππ
If you notice yourself responding differently than a former version of you might have, I hope you clap for your damn self too. π
