This Is Me

"This is me ... not posing, not flexing, spreading my lats or angling my legs to make my hips look smaller. I felt like I would be judged because I didn't look like I walked the walk. I had put this expectation on myself that as someone who has competed I should look a certain way ... that I should have the physique of a fitness model. As you can see, I clearly don't. I have big hips, my belly isn't ripped AND I like who I am. I don't count calories, I don't know what my body fat % is nor do I care. I train 5 - 6 times a week and I make those workouts count. I'm strong and I'm fit and I'm me :-)"
I posted this on one of my FB groups today.  I want them to see me for who I really am and the fact that I'm proud of that.

You can so see your abs. And I'm glad you like who you are.

You look GREAT. Being strong and fit means way more than having low body fat. If I had to choose between them, I'd take a bit of extra fat any day.
