Anníe Mist Þórisdóttir Instagram – Body image is a b**ch…. So many feelings, thoughts and doubts – regardless of whether you are a competitive athlete or not. I KNOW, and I would tell others, you are who you are and your body is incredible for what it does and gives you, regardless of what it looks like!! However it can be hard every once in a while to do what you preach, but i will take that challenge and do my best to live by it. The beginning of pregnancy where you start showing but you are still “hiding it” till it’s safe to announce, is HARD. Once you announce, you continue to grow, you still feel “soft” and somewhat out of shape, but the feeling of carrying life is incredible ❤️ women show at different times, all of us are different and each pregnancy might be different as well. This time I started showing a lot earlier and growing a lot faster. I wore loose shirts but it also doesn’t feel like ME. It wasn’t until my belly was a little bigger and the loose shirts weren’t hiding anything anyways I decided to just not care. Wear what I am comfortable in and do ME. It’s not always easy but maaan it feels a lot better to be free 17 weeks and this is what my power belly looks like! Grateful 🫶 and also thankful for my health and being able to continue to train and lift weights 🏋️‍♀️
