43 - Sylvia B: Have Faith in Yourself - An Interview with my Nana about Body Image on her 80th Birthday

Love Your Bodd

"I've gotta get old, I don't have to get old AND fat!"

"It's okay if your body image isn't what the world thinks it should look like."

- Nana

God, I love my Nana. She's sharp, beautiful, and has such a quick tongue you won't BELIEVE some of the things she has to say in this interview. There's a point where I have to pause because I am laughing so hard. Actually, that happens a few times.

I went into this interview with the goal on gaining the perspective on how things have changed in the last 80 years. My Nana's truth is that they really haven't - especially when it comes to body image. She recalls being younger and feeling short and fat. She recalls feeling neglected by her mother. She recalls not fully feeling beautiful until she met my grandfather, getting her self-worth from a man who didn't exactly give her what she was looking for. But she got through it all. The trials, the tribulations, and she came out the other side feeling blessed and grateful for the life she has today.

It ended up being a much more personal interview than I expected ... but I am so glad my Nana was willing to open up and share all of this with you. "Have Faith," she says, over and over. You will get through this little thing called life.
