For the rounder bellied people

Why are stomachs viewed so negatively?!

Like seriously, they’re not evil. I’ve hated my belly, I get it. All you see is washboard abs on tv and how to lose belly fat in 7 days on magazine covers.

But, I’ve always had more belly fat. Even at my smallest, it’s just how my body is shaped.

I could spend the rest of my life despising that and trying to change it…or I could accept it and not put myself through the ringers trying to alter my natural body shape.

People who have bellies like mine often have kids. And no, I do not. My belly is just round.

But the point of this post is, whether you’ve had kids or not, are pregnant or not - your stomach is going to be the shape it’s supposed to be.

Some people have rounder tummies.

Some people have flatter tummies.

There’s really nothing bad to it - as much a society tries to jam it in our minds.

All I know is, I’m not hiding my stomach anymore just because it’s got extra fat.

I’m not buying a shirt just because it hides it.

I’m not staying away from tight clothes. I refuse.

I’m not going to let my midsection stop me from feeling hot.

I know it’s easier said than done. But if that belly is bellying - let it.
