The feelings behind trying on clothes…
This is such a tough topic for myself, my body image, trying on clothes to showcase to everyone.
In the past year I had gained 20kg, I am currently at my heaviest I have ever been. I often look back on old photo’s where I was slimmer and confident in myself and wish I was slim again.
On the 29th Of January I had started trying on the clothes and capturing quick videos of me in them, showing them off, doing a little spin.
What you dont see is how sad and defeated I am trying on these clothes, it is sad that I know that some of the clothes I have will not fit at all, but that is ok, they will appear on the mannequin
I am super self-conscious of my body image now, but I need to be proud of my body for it has done an amazing thing, grow a baby.
This has been a very tough and confronting task that I had presented myself with. None the less, I will be trying on all clothes (even if I cant fit into them), taking the videos and posting them. I am doing this for me, for my business and to show my lovely customers and supporters the confidence I can have within myself.
