“I saved the cyberbullies some trouble ” – Lamiez on embracing her body
Katlego Sekhu
Newmom Lamiez Holworthy, who has been vocal about feeling insecure when it comes to her body, specifically her thighs, is learning to love and embrace her body, and we are here for it.
Against the backdrop of spring, the 31-year-old is encouraging her fellow ladies to wear those summer dresses and bikinis with pride.
“Dear ladies, if you needed a sign to wear those summer dresses, shorts, bikinis, and skirts—even with your big thighs, legs, stretch marks, cellulite, and hyperpigmentation—here it is,” said Lamiez, admitting that she was limited by her insecurities.
“I won’t lie, I almost allowed my insecurities and fears to get the better of me—and then it hit me: I feel amazing! I look and feel amazing, even with the above ‘flaws’ that society constantly makes us feel uncomfortable about.”
She added, “As for me? I know I see them, I live with them, and if I don’t have an issue with them, I don’t see why anyone else should, so here I saved the cyberbullies some trouble and pointed out all that they’ve tried to shame me with.”
Lamiez has also been open about her ‘mommy guilt’ as she had to get back to work following the birth of her son.
“First week fully back at work and I can’t explain all the emotions I’ve gone through. From the mommy guilt that comes with leaving your little one behind, to the hunger that comes with wanting to go extra harder just for him.
“Then there’s your body, having to adapt or learn to push through the crazy hours all over again, and still give every gig your all.
“I then look at all the love I’ve received at each and every one and it makes it all a little easier. It reminds me of the genuine love and support that I have, not only at home but at gigs too, and that alone is enough to carry me.”
