The gorgeous gals at Women24.com are doing a ‘love my body’ theme and asked us all to write a love letter to our bodies.

See Meagans one here.

I am ‘eek, ook, ark!’ as I’ve never done something like this before but that’s why it’s a good thing right? Here goes…

Dear bod,

You’ve always been pretty good to me so I want to say a big THANKS for all you’ve done.

Never mind all the hard work you do on a daily basis processing all the stuff I put into you, but you really work hard keeping everything in check and making sure I do all those normal things like breathe and poo.

You mended me when I broke my arm when I was little and stayed strong when I fell out of trees and off the roof.

You’ve always fixed me when I felt sick which is not that often so a huge hug for that.

You helped me push myself to the limit with all the sport at school and when we do the odd marathon and cycle race together.

You let me have a small-ish bum and I’m really thankful for that.

You made me look good enough for my husband to fall in love with and for that I love you so so much.

You carried my little baby and I was proud to have such a huge belly fillled with such a precious bundle. Even though you had a bit of an oopsie and we got gestational diabetes, we learnt how to eat well and ended up being extra healthy.

Thanks for going right back to normal after all that too, that double-chocolate muffin was the most delicious thing I ever ate.

Thanks for making me hungry and for loving food so much so that I can taste and savour all the yummy things we make and think up.

All in all, you’re amazing, my one true soul mate. Stay well bod, lets live long and strong.

Hey that was pretty liberating, I almost squeezed out a tear!
