It's not always easy to be kind to ourselves, but one Instagram user is going viral for sharing how a healthy relationship can influence a positive view on your own body.
Instagram user who goes by Jazzy shared an adorable photo of herself in a flowery bikini holding hands with her husband on the beach. She captioned it with an inspirational note about learning to love her body as it is.
"I don't have a flat stomach, I jiggle when I walk, hell if I run up the stairs to fast my body claps," she wrote. "But now I see I do have the 'perfect' body!"
Jazzy said that she's learned to see what her "born fit" husband sees in her body and began to love herself for all of the reasons that he does and more.
"Every roll, every curve and every stretch mark is put on me just perfect to make both of us happy," she wrote. "I love my body and I finally see why he does too!"
Here's her post in full:
Over the years this man has loved every curve, every roll, and every stretch mark on my body. I never understood why! How could he love something that isn't 'perfect'? How could a man who was 'born fit' love someone like me! I don't have a flat stomach, I jiggle when I walk, hell if I run up the stairs to fast my body claps (lmao)!! But now I see I do have the 'perfect' body!! Every roll, every curve and every stretch mark is put on me just perfect to make both of us happy!!! I love my body and I finally see why he does too!!
Her inspirational message resonated with commenters who shared their own struggles of coming to love their bodies.
"This post made me so happy and gave me hope," one user wrote. "I know that there is someone who will love me no matter my size, but sometimes it doesnt seem that way. So thank you for sharing this!"
"I also have a very fit husband, and I've always been very insecure about it," another said. "Especially when meeting all of his fitness friends for the first time. I feel like they expect someone equally as fit as him, so I'd always worry about it. I know he loves me and my curves, and I'm slowly accepting myself for all that I am! Thanks for the wise words!"
Jazzy's message is a good reminder that relationships become easier when you learn to love yourself first.
