LET'S NOT CALL IT A DIET + Did I wear a bikini? + TIPS

HEY DOLLS!

Remember I started a Let's not call it a diet series

in order for me to get in a bikini this summer?

I actually stopped the diet - thing,

and I'm just eating whatever I want.

And somehow (I credit breastfeeding)

I have been losing weight, I'm getting in a better shape

gradually.

I have realised that you do not need to be in your best shape to get in a bikini.

Any of you out there having insecurities because of what people would say,

DON'T.

You are beautiful, and if you'd like to wear a bikini.

The heck - do it.

And play some beach volleyball while you're at it.

Life is all about smiling, having fun with your loved ones

and making memories.

Don't let your body weight issues stop you.

And don't be too hard on yourself when dieting.

From my experience,

the more you see that you're progressing,

we keep stressing on how far our goal is 

as opposed to realising how far we've come.

And we need to realise that we need to love ourselves at whatever point we're at.

Whatever goal you might have, always think of how far you've come!

I have given birth to a baby 6 and a half months ago.

My skin is not as firm as it used to

my butt is not as perky as it used to

I have stretchmarks,

linea negra

I'm pale because I haven't been tanning

and GODDAMN IT I GOT IN A BIKINI!!

I might not have the best bikini body

but I'm happy to have been swimming

and I can't wait to take Aicha too!

And so should you - don't let your physical issues get in the way of your happiness

and JUST DO WHATEVER YOU FEEL LIKE.

And while you're at it - STRUT YOUR STUFF (as it is) and HAVE FUN!
