When I pulled out my favorite bikini for our beach day, my friend casually remarked, “You’re too fat for that bikini.” The comment stung, but I decided to wear it anyway. I wasn’t going to let anyone dictate how I felt about my own body. As we lounged by the water, I noticed her boyfriend stealing glances at me, unable to look away. The satisfaction I felt wasn’t about him—it was about owning my confidence and proving that beauty comes in all shapes and sizes.
