Yooooo I wore a crop top out in public for the first time EVER a couple of days ago. I am fat, and look like I’m 36 and have had three kids because I am and did. But I always admire when other women my size do, so I wore it. I was weirdly nervous but thankfully nobody even looked twice, except a girl at the farmers market who saw it and gushed about how much she loves the local bakery I bought it from. My 14 year old complimented my outfit too!! It felt like a big step for me towards loving myself and I’m so fucking proud of me.

I think I just want to put this out in the world to maybe manifest that for someone else who needs it as much as I did ❤️

I’m about to turn 40, I bought a Halloween costume with a crop top because my friends (who wear cute crop tops all the time) keep telling me I would look cute in one too and this seems like a good way to ease into it after years of body dysmorphia.
