Saira Khan Instagram – Real Bodies, Real Beauty ✨🍃
I want to talk about the importance of seeing real bodies. We need to see stretch marks, scars, wobbly bits, healthy weights, and small boobs. It’s crucial for us women to appreciate our bodies and balance out all the images of perfection we’re bombarded with.
For years, I battled with how my body looks, focusing on its superficial aspects and constantly comparing myself to others. But having this time to myself, healing, relaxing, and being still, I’ve learned something profound. I need to let go of the fear about myself, not care about others’ judgments, and be grateful for my body. This vessel through which I live life deserves care, love, and respect. As long as I’m feeding it well, moving it, and loving it, it will serve me for a good quality of life.
We women must see REAL, ordinary, different-shaped bodies to not feel like there’s something wrong with us.
Before having children, my body looked totally different. But I refuse to starve, restrict, or delude myself to get that body back. I’m a woman now, with a body that has delivered a child. I need to strengthen it, keep it relaxed, mobile, and healthy as I age.
I do not have a flat stomach – but my core is strong.
I do not have a thin waist – but my waist is strong.
I do not have thin thighs – but my thighs are strong.
I do not have thin arms – but my arms are strong.
I do not have perfectly rounded glutes – but they are strong.
To all my women out there – I understand the desire to lose a few pounds, feel better, and get healthier. But focus on the health benefits, not the shape or size. Start your journey with relaxing, being happy about who you are, and begin from a place of self-love and self-respect.
Let’s celebrate our bodies for what they are: unique, powerful, and beautiful.
