We did it. All of these clothes have been staring at me for over a year, begging for me to either put them in a bin in case my weight fluctuates again, or actually wear them because they fit.
There are a couple of items that I honestly need your opinion on though so pls help your girl out and let me know if itâs time to say goodbye đ
Stay tuned for part 2 and maybe even a part 3. There are A LOT of clothes

Comment below YOUR biggest cost of having a child/children and planning for a family below âŹď¸âŹď¸âŹď¸
The more we openly speak about this, the less burden we carry alone đŤśđťđ

If we spend 20%, 30%, or more of our time in pain or in flares, we deserve cute clothing that feels good on our bodies.

Activewear has been hard for me to wear over the last couple years for a lot of reasons. One of them being that I had to stop wearing activewear dresses due to how challenging it was to constantly take the whole dress off to pee or go to the bathroom due to endo.
This little change @halara_official made to their activewear dress allows me to wear them again and it feels so good đĽşđĽş
Halara Circle is about real people trying pieces for free, sharing feedback, and helping create better fits for every body and every real life struggle!

Dear me,
I know this feels unfamiliar.â¨The way your body looks, the way it moves, the way it holds onto things you wish it wouldnât. You keep trying to catch up to it, like if you just understood it better, youâd finally feel at home again.
But maybe this isnât something to solve.
Your body is not a problem that needs fixing. Itâs a relationship thatâs asking for patience. And right now, youâre in the middle of learning a new version of each other.
It makes sense that this is hard. Youâve lived in a world that taught you your worth could shift with your shape. Of course your mind is trying to keep you âsafeâ by questioning, analyzing, comparing. That doesnât make you weak. It means youâve been paying attention.
But there is another way to move through this.
You donât have to wake up one day and suddenly love everything you see. You donât have to force yourself into acceptance before youâre ready. You can start smaller than that.
You can start with neutrality.â¨With choosing not to punish yourself for something your body is doing to protect or sustain you.
This body has carried you through grief, through pain, through days when getting out of bed felt impossible. When pain from an invisible illness is unbearable. It has adjusted, adapted, and kept you here. Even now, it is not working against you.
Look what itâs done for you, creating the garden of your dreams, and caring for animals in need.
There is nothing wrong with what you look like.
You are allowed to feel the grief of whatâs changed without turning that grief into shame. You are allowed to miss past versions of yourself and still make space for who you are becoming.
Loving your body might not look like celebration right now.â¨Maybe it looks like care.â¨Like rest.â¨Like feeding yourself enough. â¨Like speaking to yourself a little more gently than you did yesterday.
You are not behind. You are not failing. You are in the middle of something real.
And even if you donât fully believe it yet, this version of you is still worthy of being seen, of being loved, of being lived in.
Iâm right here with you, figuring it out one day at a time.
Love,â¨Me

If I let my biggest insecurities suffer in silence and isolation, 100% of the best moments of my life wouldnât have happened.
This page wouldnât have happened.
My marriage wouldnât have happened.
Recovery wouldnât have happened.
Getting a correct diagnosis to years of pain wouldnât have happened.
Sometimes the best things happen when you go down the path you are less familiar with â¤ď¸
