Beauti: The Jenna Interview

I've spent years and years and years fighting this weight issue.

Letting it define who I was. I literally thought it was what was wrong with me.. I thought it was the reason I couldn't find love. We equate it to everything.

Our weight is who we are..

And then someone told me, "Just thank your body for what it's done for you, despite what you've done to it."

I had never looked at it that way.

I had always looked at my body as the enemy.

So I was committed to making it something that was acceptable. Acceptable to me, acceptable to other people, and then maybe I would be able to be loved.

But when I started to thank my body for helping me survive, everything shifted for me.
