On bears, berries, and bellies (Patreon)

Like a bear preparing for hibernation, I stuffed myself with blueberries on that hike. 

Well, blueberries and beer. 

This was a particularly good one. 

And in full honesty, this photo was hard to edit, hard to post. It's hard to look closely at myself sometimes, and not be consumed by wishing my body was different.  Slowly, slowly I'm changing those thought chains, changing how I look at myself and how I feel about myself, and how I portray myself through the photos I post online. Choosing photos because I like them overall, not just because my belly appears flattest in any particular one. 

My body changes from day to day. Zits appear and disappear, my belly is fuller or less full, my breasts perkier or softer, tan lines come and go, and I am learning to accept that and accept my body in each variation.
