Bloguera fitness comparte imágenes de su cuerpo tras dejar de depilarse por un año

Morgan Mikenas, una bloguera fitness, quiso mostrar fotos de su cuerpo tras dejar de depilarse por un año.

A través de su cuenta de Instagram, la joven reveló que había sido intimidada por su piernas peludas en una clase de gimnasia cuando tenía 11 años.

En ese momento corrió a su casa llorando y se depiló por primera vez, pero esa "vergüenza" ya quedó atrás.

Hace un año dejó de rasurar sus piernas y sus axilas, con la idea de reivindicar que las mujeres no tienen por qué estar depiladas si ellas no lo desean.

Este ha sido el resultado:

It's just nice to embrace the natural beauty that you are.. the beauty that's on the inside AND the outside☺ What is beauty anyway? To me... it's to be beautiful before someone else told you what beautiful is supposed to be.. Just as you are, you are beautiful #bodyhairdontcare #fitness #bodypositive #spreadlove #gratitude #namaste #bethechange #beauty #hairywomen #empowerment #bebold #beyou #loveandlight #positivity #encouragement #onelove #freespirit #effyourbeautystandards #natural #physique #selfcare #selflove #fitnessmodel

"There is nothing more rare, nor more beautiful, than a woman being unapologetically herself; comfortable in her perfect imperfection. To me, that is the true essence of beauty."~Steve Maraboli Not just woman, but everyone! Imagine if everyone just decided that today was the day they loved themselves and embraced every part of them selves. Accepting and loving your body and your "flaws" because you know they are what makes you who you are. If you are focused on being true to yourself in every moment, you are less concerned what others think, which will lead to peace of mind. When you have nothing to hide and you can freely be yourself, there is a profound peace/confidence you will emanate to the world that will inspire others.I also just posted a new YouTube video on why I don't shave my body hair and how it helped me(link in bio)☺ #bodypositive #spreadlove #behappy #namaste #hairywomen #healing #healthylifestyle #selfcare #loveyourself #beyourself #bethechange #divine #inspireothers #inspirationalquotes #positivity #goodvibesonly #lifeisbeautiful #hairy #gratitude #weareone #higherconsciousness #freespirit #empowerment #smile #feelgood

WARNING If body hair offends you, you will want to keep scrolling, no negativity please Current physique from 3 weeks of not lifting because of an injury. I'm definitely missing the pump and endorphins for sure, but I love where I am right now. Enjoy your journey. Don't love yourself any less because you no longer have abs, or you are a few pounds heavier. And I'm fully aware that my body hair is clearly visible in this picture, and that's the whole reason I posted it. I've have been getting beautiful emails from females who I inspired to stop removing their body hair and have helped send them on their journey of self love. For that reason I refuse to stop sharing my natural self. So if that is a problem, go ahead and unfollow me! For a majority of my life I have been chasing acceptance and love from others, and not focused what is actually important.. Loving MYSELF and feeling comfortable in my own skin and not needing anyone's approval. Love myself for who I am, and not have to change something about myself to be accepted.. Appreciate yourself and the changes you go through. Don't be so hard on yourself☺#fit #fitness #healthyliving #bodypositive #selflove #inspiration #bethechange #spreadlove #love #bodyhairdontcare #freespirit #support #positivevibes #goodvibesonly #tone #inspire #namaste #model #rest #feelgood #lifestyle #gains #befree #unity #respect #peace #natural #empowerment #fitnessmodel #bestself

En su misma cuenta de Instagram, cuenta que está luchando contra la presión social que existe sobre las mujeres para que tengan el cuerpo depilado.

A pesar de que no todas gustan por mantener sus vellos, ha recibido gran apoyo por hacer lo que realmente a ella le acomoda.

"Si estás enfocado en ser fiel a ti mismo en cada momento, estás menos preocupado por lo que piensan los demás, lo que llevará paz a tu mente. Cuando no tienes nada que ocultar y puedes ser libremente tú mismo", escribió en una de sus imágenes.
