Mom Poses With 2 Kids. Looks Closely At Photo And Runs For Her Camera Again

“Not any more!

The truth is, I’m tired of being ashamed of my body; it’s done nothing but support me for 41 years…. So today I let go.

I let go of the hatred and resentment of this body of mine and chose to enjoy it for what it is; my body. I asked The Pants to take this photo so the kids will remember us enjoying this day together, cellulite and all.

No cover up.

No board shorts.

No ‘modesty’ towel.

No filters.

Just us.

Any you know what? I’m not ashamed. Really.

I look at this photo and all I can see is how happy we are and that’s awesome.

I finally feel free and it feels awesome!”

Now Kirsten can actually enjoy precious moments with her family, instead of worrying constantly about what other people might be thinking!

In an email to the Today Show, Kirsten explained how the thought came to her a little further:

“I was standing on the beach, stressing out about it, and just had a moment of clarity when I realized the only person judging me in that moment was me.

Nobody was paying me any attention and the only thing stopping me from just letting go and embracing myself fully was a bag full of hang-ups that I had created and chosen to carry around.”

No one should miss out on fleeting memories because they feel uncomfortable with their own bodies!

Now Kirsten hopes her body-positive message will help others feel more comfortable in their own skin! We only have one life – it’s time to live it happily!
