Thank you for sharing. I've been going through a crazy process of body changes since I found out I was pregnant over two years ago. During my process I've thought a lot about my self-image and how I've been shaped. I have a series coming out soon touching on many of the same idea that the article shared. I don't want to share my poor self-confidence with my beautiful son. I catch myself doing things that could eventually negatively impact his view of himself or me. That isn't something that I desire. I like the reminders. Keep up the good work!Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16112666223481821146noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3765974101952557943.post-76774813169614684172013-06-19T13:27:54.866-07:002013-06-19T13:27:54.866-07:00Said the girl who just did mudder in a sports bra ...Said the girl who just did mudder in a sports bra and booty shorts!

Cheers to feeling confident- or at least faking it until it just becomes real. If someone gives you a compliment, just say THANK YOU, take it sincerely and shut up- no excuses of why you don't deserve it or dumbing down the praise, just take it as proof of someone pushing you up! Did I mention you're awesome!?

Positive body image...Thank you for this post today! Positive body image is a cause that is incredibly important to me. I used to be 60lbs heavier, but still have had body image issues, even when people would call me skinny. I'll never have ripped abs (or if I do, I'll never be able to see them), so I don't really like the images that spew positive body wisdom with a picture of toned abs. That body type is not realistic for everyone (especially if someone has undergone major weight loss). A focus on being happy and healthy is what counts, and that's why I'm glad you highlighted the part of the article that you did. <br /><br />I think it's time for a revolution. It starts with us women as individuals- choosing to love ourselves as we are, because we only get one body in this lifetime and it's up to us to love that body. "Society" "media" and just plain meanies don't deserve to have a say in our self-esteem. <br /><br />You seem so strong and confident, so I was a little surprised at your choice of topic, but at the same time, it does seem to be universal for women. Cheers to being confident, indeed! <3Rachel Sedakerhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06400295356502293525noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3765974101952557943.post-43070659655698690062013-06-19T10:10:29.515-07:002013-06-19T10:10:29.515-07:00Brooke this is my favorite post of yours so far!

I've not had my own kids, but dating a man with a 12 year old daughter has opened my eyes quite a bit as to how much my view of myself affects her. I have been working quite hard the past few months to only talk positive about myself and emphasize the good qualities in her as well. I've noticed a shift in how I view myself because of it, and it's getting easier and easier to accept the positive things I'm saying and actually believe them.<br /><br />PS- your arms are AMAZING!
