The image issue - Saying NO to self-deprecation

There's a very subtle conversation among females that advocates not accepting the natural changes your body goes through at different ages. It's led by the weight loss campaigns, fashion world and the general glorification of a particular sized woman. Unfortunately it's been radically successful in getting females of ALL ages to keep striving towards an ever elusive weight, size and image.

The internal conversations we have with ourselves are seriously cray cray: "I lost 20 lbs, well maybe I could lose 20 more... 20 lbs later: I've lost that 20 lbs maybe I should get implants..." BUT WHY? because you're still not good enough as you are?

I've come to realise accepting all the changes in my body has to be a CHOICE I MAKE for myself. Easier said than done, but it's my body and by not accepting and loving the changes it's the same as saying something's wrong with me - my piss would boil if I was overlooked for something strictly based on my physical profile. If and when this happens in real life we class that as discrimination, chauvinism etc. So why... WHY would I in the most roundabout way implant the messages that my body's not good enough and I'm not good enough in my brain and have the mirror be a reminder of that message?!


Girls we just must stop this! Thankfully it's not a problem for all females and for these females please make your voices heard to your girlfriends. You have more of an impact than you could ever know. There's a recipe out there for self hate and it's causing a lot of unnecessary insecurities in our girl power flow. Being comfortable and happy in your skin is for YOU. It's not just because confidence is sexy.

Self-deprecating is so easy when it should be the opposite. Ladies of all sizes, let's embrace our differences and love our growth you'll never be this current version of yourself again, make it count - LOVE YOU NO MATTER WHAT, it's a choice after all.
