“Inside, I hated everything about myself. I hated the family I came from; I hated my stupid ideas; I hated how boring I thought I was. And I especially hated my body. I felt like everything about me was wrong and disgusting”
“I made the decision to lose 150 pounds and get healthier (even if it killed me in the process). I thought it would magically change everything I hated about myself and all of a sudden, I would be a brand new person – Interesting fact: it didn’t change much about me”
“But this is the very first time I also felt an outpour of love and acceptance as my husband and I ran side by side in the last sprint to the finish… totally naked”
“Social nudism isn’t about seeing and proving; it’s about experiencing”
“Everyone is naked and vulnerable. When no one is hiding behind masks, it makes it much easier to accept one another and yourself”
“Not only did I defeat something that made me emotionally uncomfortable for so long, but I took home a first place medal for my age group. And who cares how unflattering my race photos turn out to be?”
