But as my career progressed, I reluctantly accepted my body, although I continued to pine for what I didn’t have. Pregnancy changed me. It was the first time in my adult life that I appreciated my body for something other than athletic performance. It wasn’t just about me. It was me, and this new life that was growing inside. I now viewed my body as something to I needed to nourish in more respectful ways. Here in Fontainebleau, as the weather gets warmer by the day, I wanted to take off my shirt and climb in just my sports bra, but suddenly felt hesitant and self-conscious. I’m not one of those moms that has bounced back to their pre-pregnancy shape or size—and I’m not sure I ever will be. My hesitation caught me off guard as I thought I had moved past a lot of my body-image issues. I thought I had settled into my own skin, so to speak, even if it’s a little more stretched out. Climbing is about pushing your self out of your comfort zone, because that’s how you grow and get better. That could mean taking a fall, or even taking off your shirt. I reminded myself that there’s no “right” body type. Although my concerns about my tiny arms may now be replaced by the shape of my waist, at the end of the day I want our kiddo to know that strength comes in so many shapes, most of all being comfortable in your own skin.
