My legs were jiggling away in that suit!

We packed a lot into a little weekend. Our oldest daughter had a volleyball tournament and a dance competition. I attended an amazing women's event. We also snuck away from the hustle and enjoyed some time at a hotel. And yes, I squeezed into my swimsuit and played in the pool with my kids.

My kids did not care that I was about 15 lbs heavier than I wanted to be, that my legs were jiggling, or that my thighs were rubbing together as I walked by to get the beach ball we were playing with. They simply cared about none of it. They just cared about me playing with them.

Did those things above bother me? Yes, they sure did, but I did not let it stop me from having fun. I no longer let that weight have power over me like I used to.

We all have our things, and I bet if I asked you what your "issues" are, you would have no problem rattling them off. I promise you, we care more than anyone else around us, and I want to challenge you by not letting those issues rob you from living the beautiful life you have in front of you.

So have fun my friend, life is too short otherwise!

With love + friendship, Megan
