Bloop!
Now that I have your attention with this hiding back fat title, let’s talk about the fact that I am not going to hide my back fat because I am unapologetic about being myself and as a blogger and woman of this world, you should as well!
This fashion industry can take its toll on you. Even as “just a blogger”. I noticed it within myself when I put this jumpsuit on the other day and shot these pictures. I was really self conscious about the fact that I had side rolls and the outfit was a bit snugger than I remembered it being. I was so self conscious that I tried to pose in ways that would hide my back fat. I posed in ways that would lean me out. While there is absolutely nothing wrong with that, what scared me the most was that I said outloud, “well I will have to photoshop that out”. WTF?!?!?? Who am I and who do I think I am for that?
Being a style blogger is like being a model at times. We are out here featuring ourselves in outfits and having photoshoots to best show the outfit and we want to look perfect. Hell I would love to be perfect as far as my body is concerned. My idea of perfect would be 15% body fat, 6 pack, wide hips, thick thighs, and super toned arms. But well I have one out of 5 and I am going to be happy about it. I do not do enough to change my body or make it healthier so I have to stop complaining. I do however want to urge everyone to make a healthy lifestyle, and your overall wellbeing, outside of looking good in clothes, a priority. I know I need to up my cardio and put down the sweets!
but…..
While I was sitting here today editing these I made the conscious decision just like my DC Rooftop Bathing Suit post to not touch any of my imperfections. Because I am a warrior woman. An average warrior woman but a warrior nonetheless. My cellulite shows that I am enjoying life and that at times a great meal puts a beautiful smile on my face. So yes, I could have easily zapped away these rolls but I made a promise to myself and every other curvy woman out there that I would be unapologetic at any weight and that is precisely what I will continue to do!
Now someone get me some strawberry jam for my delicious rolls please!!!!
