Making memories during lockdown Ignoring mum tum insecurities to be part of the videos

We're having a home school inset day today. For staff mental wellbeing.
If it isn't fun, we're not doing it today!
I wanted to share this but now I'm uploading I feel a bit sick. I share pictures of myself on social media but let's face it.. in a photo you can angle yourself how you feel comfortable and hide your wobbly bits.. I think part of the reason I get so anxious making videos is because I'm ashamed of how I look. I've gained a lot of weight over the last two year, my confidence has dropped and I like to hide behind the camera instead of step out in front of it. That's no way to live though. I want my kids to see I was present and not just hiding behind a camera. So, in attempt to leap over a mental hurdle that I know is holding me back, here is me, dancing like a complete idiot with my kids. Wobbly bits wobbling for all to see. Am I happy with how I look? No. Am I going to let it stop me living my best life anymore? No.
I figure putting this out there means that you have all seen the real me (not the carefully angled, filtered me) and so hopefully I can stop feeling like I need to hide away so much.
If you've got this far through my ramble then well done and hi.. #thisisme
