Dezyia to Inspire with Kassidy Kissack
Sharing my journey of FAITH, FITNESS, FOOD, & FASHION! I am a mom of 4 who loves leggings, inspiring
I am a mom of 4 who has a mad passion for spreading love, sharing my journey of faith, creating "healthier" versions of my favorite foods, drinking ALL the coffee, and helping others find self-love and confidence by helping them fall in love with the reflection staring back at them in the mirror.
Listen up mamas— are you constantly feeling like you’re not cut out for this? Like you’re failing? Like you’re not enough. Remember this verse— God created you for your child(ren), and created your child(ren) for YOU!
“𝗪𝗲𝗮𝗿 𝘁𝗵𝗲 𝘀𝗵𝗼𝗿𝘁𝘀,” they say.
Yeah, I hear you. I put the shorts on. I look in the mirror. I cringe and I hear the voices inside peoples’ heads who encounter me in my shorts. Voices that say,
“That girl shouldn’t be wearing shorts.”
“I thought her legs would be more toned than that as much as she posts about her workouts.”
“Her cellulite is gross.”
“She needs longer shorts on that cover her legs.”
“Why is she wearing those?”
Sometimes, I roll my eyes at myself, tell myself to get over it, and walk out the door with my shorts on. Sometimes, I listen to the voices echoing in my head, go to my closet, grab a pair of jeans or leggings, and put them on despite the fact that the high for the day is 100 degrees. It’s a constant battle to fight the inner mean girl in me who is telling me that my value and worth lie in the way my legs look in shorts. 🙈😑 At the end of the day, it’s way easier to say, “Wear the shorts,” than it is to actually WEAR. THE. SHORTS. But I am here to overcome my inner critic and start to fully embrace my body in all forms and all stages.
How do I work towards overcoming this?
🖤Remind myself is someone is judging me, that’s on them, not me.
🖤Remind myself my worth isn’t defined by how toned my legs are.
🖤Remind myself that I am normalizing cellulite!
🖤Remind myself that I am showing my children to embrace their imperfections and not worry about the judgements of others.
🖤Remind myself that Jesus loves me as I am!
