Credit to from @jacquelineadan44 - It happened again. Last year on vacation, I was so nervous to wear a bathing suit and I was so nervous about how my body would look to other people. I was even pointed at and laughed at when I went to get into the pool. For a moment I froze, in complete embarrassment, before I decided to move on and not care. Guess what? It happened again. It happened this year while I was on vacation again. Yes, I was walking on the beach and again I was pointed at and laughed and made fun of. As I was getting laughed at and pointed at something came over me. I was not embarrassed, I did not feel like I had to justify myself and I did not freeze or want to cry. I actually felt free! This time...I just did not care! I tried to go over every change inside my head as to why this year I just did not care. Then it finally hit me. I do not depend on the approval of others, and I do not care what others may or may not think about my body. I am so focused on living my best life, and I have been working so hard on loving me exactly how I am...loose skin and all- that I do not have time to worry about what others may think or say. I can finally say that I am at a place where I still have insecurities and a lot of loose skin, and yes mentally I still struggle at times, but I can finally say that my self love journey has been the focus of this past year, and being at this place in my life where I can walk around in a bathing suit and genuinely feel confident, happy and not care what others may think or say, that is true transformation. That is true growth. So I am sharing this picture of me in a bathing suit for all of you. This is me. Right now. This is my body. This is what hard work, sweat, blood, tears, smiles, happiness, pain, love, and hard work look like. This is what it looks like to finally accept my body for what it is. This is me. And I am not making anymore excuses as to why I look the way I do...this is just me. Loose skin, cellulite, stretch marks and all. This is me. And I can finally say, I love me!

As the Director of this movement. I am all making yourself a priority. And doing what is right for you. For your health, confidence and happiness. And as someone living with multiple sclerosis, it is so important to me that I put myself and my health first, in order to be the best version of myself.So I have jumped in the deep end and I am doing a pretty challemging medical program here in Ubud at the moment that has wonderful and amazing healing and health benefits for those living with a chronic condition or disability. I am posting daily updates on my personal instagram page about my progress. So come and be part of the journey with me, I'm gonna need your support family.My page is @amberdawnmodel

A goal that would’ve given me major panic in the past because the goal wasn’t simply about buying new pants but also buying the smallest size. ⠀ Those days are long behind me and shopping doesn’t cause me as much stress as it used to but I want to take a moment to show you why clothing sizes are clearly arbitrary. ⠀ I bought all 3 of these jeans 👖 on the exact same day. All 3 pairs are a different size. Clearly I am not. ⠀ Could you imagine the pain and stress I would be in if I continued to allow a number on a clothing tag determine my worth? ⠀ Can you see now that the number doesn’t matter? ⠀ Instead of worrying about it, I just swap sizes until I find a pair that fits right, feels good, and makes me feel good in my body. ⠀ So the next time you feel anxiety or stress around shopping for clothes, remember that sizes are arbitrary. ⠀ Size does NOT determine your VALUE! ⠀ ⠀ ⠀ _________________________________
