I’m Trying to Lose Weight for This Very Taboo Reason

It’s not okay to say this — but it should be.

And that’s the honest truth. I cringe thinking about my reason behind wanting to get fit, but damn, I can’t deny there’s something empowering about feeling like hot shit in a killer outfit. The more I say it out loud the more comfortable I feel knowing that I really do want to look good. And there’s nothing wrong with that. Truly.
