How Thick?

Thick. Thick. Thick. What did you think of when you saw this word come up today? For us, the word thick holds great significance. It is the word that used to have a negative connotation but now we use it to embrace ourselves physically. We use it to embrace the parts of us that aren’t “perfect” or “ideal,” the parts that we have hidden through certain camera angles, and the parts that we’ve struggled to accept throughout our child and adulthood. Learning to do this is not easy and it is a category in our self love journey all on its own but nonetheless it is an important one. Embracing our curves and “thickness” allows us to accept, be patient, and fall in love with our bodies. It is the only one we have in this life and should be treated accordingly so. How thick is your respect for your body? How thick is your love for your body? How thick is your acceptance for your body?
