Because I Got Tired of Waiting for My New Body

“Ooooo!!! She must have a new man! What’s his name, girl?”

Not his, her name is Claricha. And I officially reject the notion that I have to wait until my body gets down to a certain weight or size before I can love it. 

I denounce the idea that because I’m fat I’m definitely unhealthy. Believe or not, at this weight, I’m in my best shape. I workout 3-5 times per week and my diet is filled with nutrients and foods that fuel my body. 

I saw those shorts in Walmart for less than $6 and thought “what the hey?” And ya know what? I bought them! And.👏🏾 I. 👏🏾Wore. 👏🏾Them. 👏🏾

And I don’t care what you think about how they look. 

My body hasn’t slimmed as fast as I’d hoped, but at this stage in my life I don’t care. 

Good blood pressure ✅

Good cholesterol ✅

Active life ✅

Anything else doesn’t matter.
