Story by Mary Duke
I have a rule that I’ve never told my children. If one of them ever asks me to take a picture I will always say yes, no matter how I look or feel. When they show me this picture I always say, “I love me!” Or “I’m so pretty!”.
I don’t talk negatively about my looks around my kids. Even with 30lbs of pregnancy & breastfeeding weight I will not speak negatively about my body to my kids. Choosing to not avoid a camera, mirror or the spotlight is an extension of this.
After 6 years of being kind to myself for the sake of my children I’ve learned the secret. It becomes less of an act and your reality. You eventually believe the words you speak to yourself.
