Stop Missing & Deleting Beautiful Moments
I was looking at our wedding album from our wonderful photographer, Hunter Berry, and stopped on a specific photo from our first look.
I immediately made a comment about how horrible this shot made my arms and back look in my dress.
I hated this angle.
It made me feel ashamed that I hadn’t tried harder to lose more weight for my wedding day.
Before deleting this photo, I started to zoom in. The screen glitched and jumped. It landed on a completely different section of the photo.
Ummm... the part where there is AN ACTUAL ALLIGATOR TEAR RUNNING DOWN MY HUSBANDS FACE WHEN HE SAW ME FOR THE FIRST TIME!
Here it is…
Y’all, I almost deleted this!!
I almost missed the beauty of this photo because I was too busy critiquing my body.
How many other moments am I missing or deleting because I’m being so hard on myself? Am I so focused on this that I am losing sight of the beautiful moments happening around me?
Self-love is a big topic right now... and I’m here for it! I’m glad to hear other women are making strides and doing the work, just like me, to learn to love their bodies again. I know that I am a work in progress to learn how to love myself and my body for who I am today.
I can’t keep (almost) missing moments like this. I want to be able to love and look at myself the way that my husband loves and looks at me. Gavin, thank you for your endless encouragement and compliments... and for always seeing my true self! 💛
Sending hugs!
Love, Am
