I have always been slim but I love to eat drink and be merry. I gave up on the flat belly idea in my fortys I'm almost 73 now. After giving in to the inevitable I named my belly Virginia. I figured anything that close to you needs a name. Blessings for your Hawaii trip.
just read this now and THANK YOU. I gained some weight in the last two years and summer has shifted from my favourite season to i-need-to-hide-my-body season. Thank you for reminding me that it's ok and not to obsess over it. I'm going to buy a bikini now :)
We're all about the body positivity! It's not always easy but I think you really captured the thought process that happens. 👍 our webcomic is about a skeleton and a baby ghost so our dynamic with body image is a bit different but I think that helps us address it!
AWESOME post. The body issues continue for women, no matter what age, color, size. Enjoy the body you have!! I have to tell myself that all the time. Celebrate its capabilities.
And enjoy the Big Island. I live on Oahu but Hawaii is my favorite to visit. The volcano is awe-inspiring and a drastically different landscape than you'll find anywhere else. I also love the far north end of the island--up in Kohala is the birthplace of Kamehameha I, lots of cool archaeological sites, rugged coastline, big views and few people. Wishing you a great time!
Have the absolute best time in Hawaii!!! Asian parents can be so blunt when it comes to bodies-- I totally feel you 🥲. Your abs are also alive and well, they are just chilling under a nice blanket of insulation 😌
Thank you for such a vulnerable post. You are not alone! I hope you can set all your fucks down and truly enjoy your trip. Your work is fabulous and you deserve fantastic self-care time. :)
