'If I had 6 pack abs would you also feel uncomfortable?'
Like most women, Ashley Dorough has seen her body change shape and size over the years. But despite the ups and downs, the mom of two isn't being hard on herself. Instead, she'sOn January 9, Dorough shared a photo of herself on Instagram, showing off the side of her stomach in a close-up shot. "This might make you uncomfortable to see, and if so... I want you to lean into that and think about why," she wrote in her caption.
"Thankfully a really busy career and a husband who NEVER commented on my body size kept me from going down an even more destructive road," she wrote. "But today, when I finally looked.. I was okay. And although it's so incredibly different than what we've been taught is beautiful, I felt compassion and love for this skin and this belly and yes, even the overhang."
"So right now, I've had to hit pause from anything nutrition or exercise related," she wrote. "Right now, I have to be okay with gaining a few pounds as I heal. I have to be okay with being a little weaker, because as much as I miss exercising... I know I'm not ready for it yet." "Ooooh yes this took me a long time to see when I first started deliberately making mirror attempts," one person commented. "Getting past the uncomfortable part is usually [the] biggest part of our growth."
