10 Jan My Big White Thigh’s and Me is live on the internet!
The film My Big White Thigh’s and Me is live on the internet! The last 12 months has been a lot of fun sharing my story at various festivals and picking up numerous awards but the time has come to throw it out there. It’s a film about swimming, womanhood, miscarriage, healing, loving your own skin & freezing your bum off in cold water. A couple of years ago I found myself at a low point. A realisation that the slender legs of my youth had gone – they’d been surrounded and I was left with big white thighs, arthritic toes and a body I felt let down by after a recent miscarriage. On some level I’ve always know that getting outside is good for me so at the start of the year I set myself a simple goal:
“To seek out open water and swim in it. At least once a month for a year.”
The goal was built up from a series of small objectives aimed at creating a bigger change which felt both achievable but also a challenge. There was no long distance, exotic travel involved, nor any athletic prowess. It wasn’t about distance or temperatures but rather an urge to bathe and to immerse myself.
Please WATCH THE FILM and share my body positive story with your friends! #MyBigWhiteThighsAndMe #ShareTheSwimLove @MaiaMedia

Posted at 17:28h, 04 JuneI loved watching this….. a little bit envious too! I swim in open water but not like you have; where you have swum is wonderful and I don’t think you’re bonkers at all……… I think you are inspiring. ,
