I’m a mom – I know I have ‘cottage cheese thighs’ and a muffin top but I don’t care, those things are delicious
A BODY positive woman has proclaimed that she’s not shying away from showing skin anytime soon.
She said she knows she has “cottage cheese thighs” and a “muffin top,” but she considers those parts of her to be delicious.
Danae Mercer Ricci (@danaemercer), who struggled with disordered eating in the past, posted an Instagram reel of herself praising her body on Instagram.
While wearing a crop top and skinny jeans, the 35-year-old addressed the camera directly.
“For anyone who needs to hear it today, these are not bingo wings,” she said while shaking her arms for the camera.
Danae turned to the side, gesturing to her exposed midsection.
“This is not a muffin top,” she said. “This is not a spare tire or a donut.”
Next, Danae pointed at her chest while turning for the camera.
“These are not cutlets,” she added before touching her thighs. “And these are not cottage cheese thighs.”
The self-love advocate made a thought-provoking statement for viewers to consider regarding women’s bodies.
“I don’t know why society insists on reducing women’s body parts to snacks,” she said. “We are the whole dang meal and we are delicious.”
The video drew in many viewers who shared their thoughts in the comment section.
“One of your best videos yet,” one wrote. “Even though they are all pretty great.”
“I love it when you’re this straight up and not cute and excusing. Show that strength mama and thank you for giving us strength and courage, too,” another added.
“Agreed,” a third chimed in. “The whole dang meal.”
“Your daughter is so fortunate to have you leading her in life,” yet another wrote.
