No one is born hating their body, someone taught you that the way you are is not enough and you believed them. Now it's time to heal that misconception and heal your relationship with your body, thank it and take care of it.

We women have historically lived by the following rule: not to be noticed.
Neither our belly, nor our appetite, nor our stretch marks, nor our cellulite, nor our sexual desire, nor our gray hair, nor our wrinkles, nor anything else.
As if we have to dissolve in order to not discomfort. Let's break this pattern.
No matter what the diet, weight loss, fashion, or beauty industries have told you. No matter what your worst friends tell you. No matter what society tells you.
It's okay to be fat. You're beautiful just the way you are.
I look at myself, at my body, in the hotel mirror, and I try not to judge myself any more harshly than I would if this body belonged to anyone else. If I were looking at the photo of another woman, would I still think "what a fat, lazy slob"? Would I look down on her for always falling so easily onto her fast metabolism that she barely needed to pay attention to calorie intake, and now that she is nearly forty and all of a sudden that fast metabolism has betrayed her, she's rapidly gaining all the pounds she once ignored? I like to think not. I like to think that it is very easy to feel #bodyPositivity towards another, after I have worked (and continue to work) to unindoctrinate myself from the #fatphobia that my childhood and society have instilled in me. But it is so, so, so much harder to apply that same kindness to myself.
I’ve struggled to find ways to connect with others here on the fediverse, and it seems like introduction posts with hashtags are somewhat effective… so let’s try!
I've always struggled to view myself as sexy or attractive. I saw myself as being "attractive enough" to get someone's attention.
So last night, when I got the 400+ photos from a shoot I did with my best friend, I cried. Until then I don't think I've looked at a picture, let alone hundreds, and thought "Wow, I look good."
Here's to the new Denali. To body positivity, self acceptance, and being happy to be me.
Happy Friday folks! This week has been in shambles for a lot of folks it seems, myself included, but it’s the weekend now and time for a reset. I hope you all do something lovely for yourselves with the time!
For a sum of reason, I have gained a lot of weight since March 2020, and have been able to lose some (sustainably) this year. However, I have now stretch marks...
Americans are using body shaming and sexual stigma to coerce men and boys into genital cutting. This must end. No person should be attacked and insulted for their body. Circumcision does not prevent HIV.
Please write your Congress people and tell them the US needs to stop supporting genital mutilation.
When you look in the mirror, do you like what you see?
You deserve a life where you don't hate your body.
Change those negative words and start talking to you kindly. 💜✨
A fat body covered head to toe in green fabric. Baggy, glorious fabric. Let's normalize confounding the patriarchal gaze. Let's also normalize jumpsuits. I love how the legs bell outward hiding my body further.
Middle age is an opportunity to embrace and redefine the impending invisibility society imposes on women my age. I won't shrink from it. I'll inhabit it.
Last weekend I wore a mini dress and high heels to the Paula West evening. I reinforced, supported, and smoothed out my body with Spanx. I was an encased meat in a pretty frock.
Today I was bringing Green M&M Missy Elliot realness. Hidden yet feeling bolder and more real than in that short dress. When I picked up Benson I pulled on my new red leather gloves. The brightness against the green with the accents of bright white from my shoes and fannie pack made me feel bold and modern.
I'm excited to explore new ways to tell patriarchy to fuck off.
I'll admit to having more than my fair share of struggles with body dysmorphia even if it never lead to health endangering behaviors. As I continue to keep my health and fitness dialed in I've been watching a lot more health and fitness YouTube videos too. For anyone struggling with body image issues I would say do not under any circumstances watch videos where body builders critique physiques. For example take these two images of Michael B. Jordan that one YouTuber was using as part of answering a question about what he thought his routine was and if he was using performance enhancing drugs. The physique on the left he described as "You wouldn't think much of his physique...kind of lean...no appreciable muscle definition." The one on the right, "Looks the same...maybe with a bit more fat packed on...not much more muscle...probably 4-5 pounds of pure extra fat." If I was in a negative body image headspace that could probably get me in a bit of a funk. Someone really struggling with it, especially with a goal of getting extra muscle would easily have very negative psychological repurcussions of hearing something like that about a legitimately good physique. Perhaps it is appropriate for competition critiquing but I doubt most listening to it, especially someone with body dysmorphia, would take it that way. #BodyBuilding#fitness#health#longevity#BodyPositivity
