✨ Motivational Monday ✨

Hi friends! Since May is Mental Health Month, I’ve been thinking a lot about what it really means to love ourselves.

We hear “love yourself” all the time… but honestly, loving ourselves fully can feel hard.

Some days we feel good.
Some days we feel confident.
And other days… not so much.

And maybe that’s part of it.

Maybe loving yourself fully doesn’t mean loving every part of you all the time.

Maybe it means staying with yourself even on the hard days.

Being kind to yourself when your mind is heavy.
Not giving up on yourself when things don’t feel okay.

For me, this has been a journey.

Learning to be more patient with myself.
Learning to listen to my needs.
Learning that my mental health matters just as much as anything else in my life.

And that I deserve care, support, and compassion — from others, but also from myself.

✨ I’m learning that loving myself fully means showing up for myself with kindness, even on the days when it feels difficult.

✨ What is one way you can show yourself kindness this week?

Share in the comments if you feel comfortable. 💬

I’m learning to take better care of my mental health and treat myself with more compassion. Maybe you can too. Sending you a big bear hug. 🐻🤎

LET YOUR BELLY OUT FRIDAY! Join our supportive group at www.facebook.com/groups/thebellyclub

Hi friends!! Every Friday, we open up a space for members to share belly photos in the comments of a featured post. No need for explanations or captions — just you, showing up as you are.

This is the day of the week when belly selfies, without a context or explanation, can be posted and we're hoping this helps keep the group focused on connection, support, and self-acceptance the rest of the week.

THE VIBE
This is not a beauty contest. It's not about validation or likes. It's about community. It’s about normalizing bodies like ours and celebrating each other for showing up.

HOW IT WORKS
Each week, we’ll feature one amazing member in the main post. Everyone else is invited to post their own belly photos in the comments.
You don’t need to be shirtless to join in — but if you do want to share a shirtless pic, please make sure it follows the Belly Club guidelines:

No headless pics
No thirst traps (a sexy or flirty photo meant to elicit a viewer's attention)
No overtly sexual poses or bulge shots
No underwear or nudity. Swimsuits and speedos are allowed.

BE KIND, NOT CREEPY

This space is for affirmation, not objectification.
Please celebrate each other in a way that’s respectful and kind — compliments are welcome, but skip words like hot, sexy, or comments about what you'd like to do to someone. Think: beautiful, radiant, courageous, joyful, inspiring, I love your shorts, I dig your tattoos, etc.

WANT TO BE FEATURED?

We’d love to spotlight you!

DM me a photo you'd like us to feature, your age, where you are from and answer one quick question:

What do you love most about being part of the Belly Club?

Let’s keep making this a brave, warm, and welcoming space — together.

Our Belly Club community is growing every day as we host more classes and Bear Hug retreats.

We’re grateful for the supportive and special people we meet. We want to celebrate a member each month.

Let’s learn and inspire each other by telling our stories.

Meet Myke below. He recently joined the Belly Club and the Beyond Belly membership, and is just beginning his journey with us. He’ll be attending his first retreat this May — the Bear Hug NOLA Food Tour — and we’re so excited to have him be part of the experience.

Today is the first day of spring and with that I'm happy to announce that Let Your Belly Out Friday is back!!

Thanks a lot to everyone that participated in the Belly Style Friday posts, it was great to see how fashion can help us be more confident and also show our uniqueness!!
I want to be real with you guys, since I lost weight I have been struggling again with how my body looks. It took me a long time to improve how I saw myself when I was bigger and after I lost weight I felt like I went backwards on my journey.

My birthday was this month and I wanted to take some new photos, so on my birthday, March 11, I went to the beach. The day was very warm and sunny and I took many pics, this one being one of them.

Taking these pics were important to me. I realized that even though I'm struggling I'm not going backwards. I like this pic and I like many of the other ones I took that day.
Here in the Belly Club we want to be more than a wall for photos and thirst traps, we want to be real and supportive, but also we want to have fun and celebrate our bodies, because whatever they look like they are the ones allowing us to live and enjoy life.

So for the next few months we will celebrate our shirtless bellies every Friday!
I’m looking forward to seeing the beautiful photos you guys will share!!

Shall we start with this one?

✨ Motivational Monday ✨ Join the convo at facebook.com/groups/thebellyclub

“What are the most powerful words in the universe?

The ones you use to talk to yourself.”

Let that sink in for a moment.

The way we speak to ourselves—especially about our bodies, our worth, our pace, our healing—shapes how safe we feel in our own skin. Those inner words can either soften us… or slowly wear us down.

Today, I want to invite you to notice your self-talk with curiosity, not judgment.
If your inner voice were speaking to a friend you love, what would change?

💭 Reflection prompts:

-What is something you do often that helps you see your self-worth?
-What’s one kinder sentence you can practice telling yourself this week?
-It doesn’t have to be big or poetic. Even something like:
-“I’m doing the best I can today.”
or
“My body deserves respect, exactly as it is.”
Let’s start the week choosing words that feel like support, not pressure.

💬 Let’s do this together:

Share in the comments a sentence you want to practice this week—something you can come back to when you need a little more kindness, patience, or compassion for yourself.

Your words might be exactly what someone else in the group needs to hear too. 💜
