Beach Bodies Come in all Shapes and Sizes
Not two bodies are the same, so no two bodies should be judged the same. Here’s why I think beach bodies shouldn’t be judged and what I do to avoid it.
We know how vulnerable we feel when we wear a bathing suit. The gaze of the other alerts our consciousness causing us to cover or tuck any way we can. Almost simultaneously, the internal ranking process starts. “I am fuller than her” or “I definitely have more cellulite than her” and so on and so forth.
Wearing a bathing suit is a vulnerable experience that is tied most of the time to traveling. And while you are traveling your routine is thrown in the air and in constant flux. I, for one get really constipated when I fly and since I am not a huge fan of airplane food, I fill myself up with airline bread buns making my situation worst.
Feeling bloated is also a common enemy, especially if you are not drinking as much water as you usually do. Air pressure in the cabin is lower than at sea level so as cabin pressure falls while flying, gas starts to expand wreaking havoc in your digestive system.
Your diet also changes quickly. That buffet is making you indulge in perhaps a bigger breakfast that you usually do and having your choice of croissants, pancakes and cheese pastries is hard to pass on. And sometimes, especially after multiple days of enjoying the local cuisine, you find comfort in fried fast food.
Also while on vacation, we tend to eat more sugar and drink more. Happy hour drinks by the pool and wine with dinner are a must in my vacations. Again, perhaps consuming more alcohol than your digestion is used to, will also cause problems.
In my most recent trip to Turkey, I paid attention to my body more than usual. Perhaps because although I am vaccinated, the fear of COVID19 lingers, making me prioritize my health above all. Did my back feel like I was about to get a stiff neck because of the hotel's pillow? Was the homemade yogurt giving me acid reflux? You know the drill, especially if like me your body is not working like it did before you turned 30.
So I went easy on my body, instead of stressing out because I have gained weight during my trip, I embraced it. This is how I did it:
- When I felt bloated, I thought: "you are traveling under more stress than usual, it makes sense for your body to react to this environmental stress by overeating or eating what is not good for my gut."
- When I found myself in my bathing suit enjoying Antalya’s turquoise coast instead of focusing on my beer belly, I thought: "this body has taken me places."
- I constantly reminded myself that weight fluctuations are to be expected, not only because of changes in my routine but also because of where I am on my menstrual cycle.
- When my linen pants fitted a bit tighter, I thought: “I don’t have to have the same waist from summer to summer for my body to be a perfect.”
- When I recorded a TikTok of myself dancing in one of our swimsuits, I replayed it a couple of times and thought “My body looks amazing, why am I beating myself up so much?”
No matter what your body looks like, all that matters is how you feel about it. Yes, it’s hard when others stare or make negative comments. Yes, it’s hard when you don’t see in the media bodies that look like yours. It makes it harder when you don’t let go of other‘s comments and take them as facts, when in reality are subjective opinions that only matter if you give them importance. The hardest thing however, is what you tell yourself. The ideas you have about your body and it’s worth. Once you recognize that, take all your might to destroy that negative self-talk. Your body is beautiful just the way it is. Let this be your daily reminder.

One of the most depressing and frustrating things I have ever gone through in my life was losing my Bitcoin to theft. I thought I had taken all the required safety measures to safeguard my funds, and I had put a lot of effort into building my bitcoin portfolio. However, all of that work seemed to be lost in an instant when I fell for a phishing scam that allowed hackers to access my wallet. I honestly didn’t know where to turn, and the idea that my money was gone forever was debilitating. I felt powerless for weeks as I looked for any chance to get my stolen Bitcoin back. I thought I had come to a dead end. However, Digital Web Recovery appeared just as I was about to quit. I chose to get in touch after reading about their services in a few internet forums where users were sharing their experiences recovering stolen Bitcoin. My involvement started out well as soon as I got in touch with them. The Digital Web Recovery staff was extremely knowledgeable, kind, and competent. After carefully considering my case, they gave me a thorough explanation of the recovery procedure and gave me their word that they will stop at nothing to get my stolen Bitcoin back. I could see they truly cared about assisting me, even though they didn’t offer any false promises. As anticipated, the recuperation process took a while. Since Bitcoin transactions are inherently irreversible, it was difficult to track down the stolen money. However, the team at Digital Web Recovery tracked the money as it passed through different wallets and exchanges using sophisticated blockchain analysis tools and forensic methods. They provided me with frequent progress reports, which informed me and, more significantly, gave me confidence that they were moving forward. Thanks to Digital Web Recovery, not only recover my stolen Bitcoin, but I also gained a new perspective on securing my digital assets. The team taught me valuable lessons about additional layers of protection, like using cold wallets and multi-factor authentication, that I hadn’t fully implemented before. I now feel far more confident in managing my investments, knowing I have the right precautions in place. I cannot express enough how grateful I am to Digital Web Recovery. They went above and beyond to help me retrieve what I had thought was lost forever. Their expertise, dedication, and transparency throughout the entire process made all the difference. Without them, I would have been left wondering if there was ever a way to recover my stolen Bitcoin. To anyone who has experienced the pain of losing Bitcoin, I wholeheartedly recommend Digital Web Recovery. They gave me back my financial security, but more than that, they gave me hope again. Thank you Digital Web Recovery for turning my story of loss into one of recovery and triumph, contact: Email; digitalwebrecovery@mail-me.com Website; https://digitalwebrecovery.com
