@ashleyklemieux: I wish I could go back and hug myself at the beginning of the year and thank her for doing hard and overwhelming things. Late pregnancy loss brought such a feeling of shame for my body. I felt betrayed and disconnected from it. It wasn’t the weight gain, it was feeling trapped in something that had hurt me. But I didn’t want to stay feeling that way. And I didn’t want my daughter to ever view her own body in that way, so I knew I had some work to do both mentally and physically. You’ve watched my journey this year, starting from not being able to do a single push up, and I just have to thank you for being here. Today was surreal because I filmed the biggest brand campaign I’ve ever had in all my years online, due to the fact I have been sharing my journey of getting strong again. 6 months can change so much. Good things can happen in life again. You can feel stronger than you do right now. It’s an impactful day when you look back and actually realize how far you’ve come. Love you guys, keeping going ❤️ Thanks for letting me cry on the internet with you 😂
