Loving your breasts as they are means that you love an amazing part about yourself and your genetic makeup. Although it seems that it would be a natural thing to love the breasts that you have been given, many women do not (something that I too struggled with for years). In fact, many women are led to believe that there is something wrong with their breasts, but I’m here to tell you that your breasts are amazing, and not to allow anyone to make you believe otherwise. It wasn’t until I learned to love myself for the true person I am – genetic makeup and all – that I could go from hating my breasts to loving them.
So, if you need some breast loving encouragement, then this blog is for you! And, if you are already a breast lover (like myself), then read on to celebrate all the amazing reasons to love your breasts, just as they are.
Because They Are Beautiful
It is unfortunate that societal mandates make so many of us doubt our breasts, forcing us to change their natural appearance. What’s important to remember is that these mandates are completely false. We were born beautiful – and that definitely includes our breasts!
Because No Other Breasts Are Like Yours
Your breasts are unique; they are your DNA and no two DNA are the same. Their size, their shape and their color are distinctive to you – and only you! We mustn’t ‘fix’ our breasts to fit some arbitrary ideal, but rather embrace our breasts for their unique beauty.
Because They Give Life
Your breasts provide a natural form of nutrition to a baby and are available 24 hours a day for feeding. If that isn’t amazing enough on its own, breasts can also keep the milk at a perfect temperature and will adjust to an infant’s demanding feeding schedule. For those with breastfeeding issues, there are breasts pumps available so that your baby can still receive the amazing natural nutrients found in breast milk.
Because They Define Your Femininity
Breasts define our femininity on so many levels, and this is something that we should always embrace.
Because Everyone Loves Them
Let’s face it… breasts are loveable. From babies, to adults, everyone loves them and you should too!
Now is the time to love and accept your breasts. It’s time to stop saying, “they’re too small” or “too big” or “too lopsided” or “too saggy” — they’re yours. Forever. You only have one set of breasts, so just love them already.
