Nicole's Application:

​

I've gone through a rough journey with my body and how I see myself. I always looked at myself negatively even when I was in the best shape of my life. Then I experienced a traumatic incident back in 2016 that resulted in my most rock bottom in terms of my mental health.

With the journey to heal mentally, physically I gained more weight. Then I met my amazing and loving now husband.  I finally got to a place where I was happy with my body. Things were great and within a year we were expecting our beautiful little girl.

After having our daughter, my body changed again and postpartum took it's toll on me again. Now my daughter is 3 and this last year I've gotten back to a much better place mentally. I had a beautiful wedding and loved looking at my wedding pictures of me as a plus size bride. I'm starting to believe my husband when he says that I'm beautiful and sexy.

Winning this would help seal my journey of mental health struggles and learning body positivity.
