Christmas at Any Size

Y’all “fitting room talk” is still alive & well.⁣ I’ve been back in the retail setting for only a few days now & I’ve already heard some variation of all of the below: ⁣ “I could never show my legs right now”⁣ “My waist looks HUGE in these stripes”⁣ “Yeah nope - not with these hips” ⁣ ⁣ While this is beyond normal for women this time of year, it’s important to know a few things as the holidays approach & the impending holiday parties fill your schedule — ⁣

At Christmastime: ⁣ ⁣ - Your arms are made for wrapping up your loved ones as they *finally* come home for Christmas — not for shrinking. 🎁⁣ - Your legs are made for jumping up & down at what you find under the tree OR chasing your nephews/nieces into a pile on the couch — not for critiquing. 🎄⁣ - Your tummy is made for gobbling up all of the delicious holiday foods you’ve waited all year for — not for hating. 🍛⁣ - Your booty is made for sitting by the fire, telling stories & sipping hot cocoa — not for weighing. 🔥⁣ - YOU are made for showing up & being present this holiday season - not for insecurity. 🙋🏼‍♀️ And the best part — if you allow it — your dress size or weight do not have to be a factor in ANY of the hustle & bustle of the holiday season. ⁣ ⁣ Here’s to Christmas parties that celebrate the person beyond the weight, the outfit or the toned arms. ⁣

Let’s encourage one another to be better this holiday season.

❤️🎅🏻 Besides - Santa is always watching 😘
